Make crispy, savory cucumber chips using a low and slow baking method to remove moisture and achieve a satisfying crunch. Season them with a simple homemade ranch blend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the cucumbers well. Slice them very thinly, aiming for about 1/16 inch thickness. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thinness.
  3. Place the cucumber slices on paper towels and gently press down with another layer of paper towels to absorb excess surface water. This step is key for crunch.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to create the ranch seasoning mix.
  5. Place the dried cucumber slices in a large bowl. Drizzle the seasoning mix over the slices and toss gently until every slice is lightly coated.
  6. Arrange the seasoned slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overlap the slices.
  7. Bake for 1 hour. Flip each chip over carefully.
  8. Continue baking for another 1 to 2 hours, checking every 30 minutes. The total baking time will vary based on your oven and slice thickness. The chips are done when they feel dry and snap easily when bent.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets; they will crisp up further as they cool.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, ensure your cucumber slices are as dry as possible before seasoning.
  • If you have an air fryer, you can cook these in batches at 300°F (150°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
