Ingredients
  

For the Cucumber Chips
  • 2 medium Cucumbers Use firm cucumbers for best crunch; Persian cucumbers offer a sweet twist.
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk Adds flavor and helps the seasoning stick.
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch Seasoning Feel free to create your own blend using dried herbs and spices.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Provides extra crispiness; can be replaced with cooking spray for a lighter option.
For Extra Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the overall taste; fresh minced garlic can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds depth; consider using smoked paprika for a twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste depending on dietary needs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Provides a little kick; cayenne pepper can be added for heat.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Alternatively, use a dehydrator or air fryer.
  2. Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly to about 1/8 inch in thickness.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add cucumber slices to the ranch buttermilk mixture, tossing gently to coat. Marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer.
  6. Lightly coat the tops of the cucumber slices with olive oil using a brush or cooking spray.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  8. Cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs.
