What You Need To Make Cucumber Chips
For the dry ranch dressing:
- ½ cup powdered milk
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoon dry dill

How to Make Cucumber Chips
Make the dressing.
First prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients together in a small dish and stir with a spoon until they are all combined.
Make the chips
Cut the cucumber into really thin circles and place them in a dish.
Spray some olive oil in the dish and add 5-6 tablespoon of the ranch dressing.
Mix everything together and start layering the cucumber circles in a baking dish prepared with baking paper. Make sure the cucumber circles don’t overlap because they can stick together.
Once they are in the baking dish you can spray with oil once again and add a tablespoon or two from the dry dressing but I’ve noticed that it is going to burn a little while baking so it is totally up to you, that step is optional.
Bake the cucumber in a preheated oven for around 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
When you take it out of the oven the chips should be thin and crispy. Serve it with your favorite dressing.
Tips to Make Cucumber Salad
- Choose firm, ripe cucumbers. If your cucumbers are too soft, they won’t hold up well when baking.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly and uniformly so that they will cook evenly in the oven.
- Brush both sides of the slices lightly with olive oil (or melted butter) before baking to help them crisp up nicely.
