3 RECIPES FOR DRIED CUCUMBERS RECIPE - (3.4/5)

Steps:

• HOW-TO For all of the flavor combinations, I dried enough cucumbers for one or two servings (1/2 a pound of cucumber); feel free to adjust the recipes to make more. The process is the same: 1. Slice the cucumbers thin with either a sharp knife or a food mandolin. I sliced mine with a sharp knife to about 1/8 of an inch thick. 2. Toss your sliced cucumbers in your spice mix. 3. Place your sliced, spiced cucumbers in a single layer in your food dehydrator or (like I did) on a rack placed over a cookie sheet. Cucumbers seem to stick more than other foods I've dried, so make sure you oil the rack lightly. 4. Dry for several hours in the oven at 170F (or the lowest setting of your oven), or however long your food dehydrator takes to dry foods. 5. Eat as chips, or save to sprinkle over savory stews, salads, or toss into soups.

CUCUMBER CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare your cucumbers and salt. It is best to pick cucumbers of the same size for the dehydration to be equal.
• Using a meat slicer, mandolin, knife, or vegetable peeler, slice your cucumbers into approximately half a centimeter or quarter of an inch thickness.
• Layer all of the slices one by one on dehydrator racks, ensuring the slices are not overlapping.
• Slightly salt the layered slices and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help your cucumbers get additional moisture out as well.
• Using a kitchen towel, lightly tapping your slices, soaks up all of the moisture your cucumber slices have produced. Keep drying them until your towels do not soak up the moisture anymore.
• Place your dehydrator trays onto the dehydrator machine, cover with the lid, and set on the lowest temperature, in my case 70 celsius or 160 Fahrenheit, for approximately 5 to 7 hours, depending on the thickness of your slices.
