Instructions
Cucumber Chips In The Dehydrator
- Scrub the skins of your cucumbers well to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, cut slices that are approximately ⅛ inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel. This will significantly reduce the time they need to dry in the dehydrator.
- Transfer the cucumber slices to a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, garlic salt and dill pickle juice. Toss to combine.
- Transfer the cucumber slices to a dehydrator and set it to 150° F (60° C). Dehydrate for 8-10 hours. Every two hours, rotate the trays in your dehydrator. The length of time you dehydrate your cucumber chips depends on how crispy you want them to be.

- Scrub the skins of your cucumbers well to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, cut slices that are approximately ⅛ inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel. This will significantly reduce the time they need to dry in the oven.
- Transfer the cucumber slices to a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, garlic salt and dill pickle juice. Toss to combine.
- Space your cucumber chips out evenly on the baking tray and bake for 3-4 hours. You'll want to check them periodically to make sure they are not getting too dry. The length of time they take to bake depends on how big the slices are and on your individual oven.
Notes
1.If you are using a knife, it's important that you cut the cucumber slices as close to the same size as possible, so that they dehydrate evenly.
2. It's ok to omit the oil if you are on an oil free diet.
