The Chips

First, you will want to slice the cucumbers thin. Be sure the slices are consistent so they will bake or dehydrate evenly. Use a mandoline or sharp knife. Since cucumbers are about 96% water, you will want to squeeze out some of the water, before you bake or dehydrate.

Crisp Chips

By putting the slices between 2 layers of paper towel or even cloth, you can remove some of the excess water. This way your chips will crisp better. Then you can toss the slices into whatever seasonings you have chosen for your chips. A dash of salt will also help dry the cucumber slices even further by drawing out moisture.

Seasoning

Once your chips are coated in seasonings, place them in your dehydrator for between 7-12 hours (this will depend on your dehydrator) or bake them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet at 175 degrees for about 3 hours.
