Baked Cucumber Chips: A Crunchy Oven Snack

Ingredients

- 2 medium cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). This low temperature will help in slowly dehydrating the cucumbers, resulting in perfect, crispy chips.

2. Prepare the Cucumbers:
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the cucumbers into thin, uniform slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Uniformity is key to even baking.

3. Season the Cucumbers:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
- Add the cucumber slices to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure each slice is well coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
- Spread the cucumber slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even cooking.

5. Bake Your Chips:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 2 hours, flipping the slices halfway through.
- Keep an eye on them as they can easily burn towards the end. They should be golden brown and crispy.

6. Cool and Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow the cucumber chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. This allows them to crisp up further.
