Ingredients
- 1 large thick-skinned cucumber
- 1 1/2 tbsp white distilled vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber slices: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and lightly grease two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, carefully cut the cucumber into thin slices about 1/8 inch thick to ensure even crisping.
- Season the cucumber slices: Pat the cucumber slices dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them in a medium bowl and add the white distilled vinegar, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Toss everything together thoroughly to evenly coat the cucumber slices with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake the cucumber chips: Arrange the seasoned cucumber slices in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to allow both sides to crisp evenly. As some chips start to crisp, remove them promptly from the baking sheet to prevent burning while allowing the rest to continue baking until all are perfectly crispy.
Notes
- Ensure slices are uniformly thin to achieve even baking and crispiness.
- Remove chips as they crisp to avoid overbaking and burning.
- You can substitute white distilled vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- If you prefer more intense vinegar flavor, lightly spritz additional vinegar on finished chips before serving.
