Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 175°F and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the Cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers and slice them into thin discs, about 1/8 inch thick. This will ensure an even bake and the perfect crunch.
3. Make the Coating: In a medium bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, vinegar, sea salt, and ranch seasoning until well combined. This flavorful mixture will be the key to coating the cucumber slices.
4. Coat the Cucumber Slices: Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels, then dip each slice into the seasoning mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Arrange the Chips: Carefully place the coated cucumber slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
6. Bake Until Crisp: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the Crunchy Ranch Cucumber Chips bake for 3 to 4 hours, or until they are fully dehydrated and crispy.
7. Cool and Serve: Once the chips have finished baking, let them cool slightly before serving. This will ensure they maintain their satisfying crunch.
Notes
If you have any leftovers, store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crisp for up to 5 days.
For the ultimate crunch, make sure to slice the cucumbers evenly and bake them at the recommended low temperature for the full duration.
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of cayenne pepper, to create your own unique flavor profile.
