These Baked Cucumber Chips are a healthy and crunchy snack alternative, made by thinly slicing cucumbers and baking them low and slow until crispy. Perfectly seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, these chips are light, flavorful, and ideal for snacking any time of the day.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 large cucumbers (or 3-4 small ones)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice Cucumbers: Slice the cucumbers thinly, about 1/8 of an inch in thickness, to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy.
  2. Season the Slices: Pat the cucumber slices dry to remove excess moisture. Place them in a bowl and mix well with your chosen seasonings including smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and black pepper.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even drying.
  4. Bake Low and Slow: Bake the cucumbers at 170 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. This slow baking process dehydrates the cucumbers, drying them out thoroughly until they become crispy. The exact time depends on the size of the cucumber slices.
  5. Remove and Cool: Once the cucumber slices are dried out and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool. They will harden further as they cool.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your healthy, homemade baked cucumber chips as a guilt-free snack any time!

Notes

  • Make sure to slice the cucumbers evenly to ensure consistent crispiness.
  • Patting the cucumber slices dry before seasoning helps remove excess moisture and improves crispiness.
  • You can customize the seasoning to your liking by adding chili powder, dill, or your favorite herbs.
  • Store the baked cucumber chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
  • If you want them extra crispy, you can turn the slices halfway through baking.
