Did you know? I thought dehydrating cucumbers would rank up there with dehydrating watermelon and water (a running joke in my house)! It can be done~oh joy! oh rapture! I have been drowning in pickle juice these past few weeks (NOT complaining) and then I stumbled onto these little nuggets. Who isn't looking for other options to preserve cucumbers this time of year?
Such a simple process and honestly didn't believe that this recipe would be anything short of a waste of time and ingredients. I am pleasantly surprised and just had to share with you, Constant Reader!
Process:
Peel and thinly slice cucumbers. I used my mandolin and the "thin slice" attachment.
In a large plastic bag put equal amounts of dried dill, garlic powder and onion powder.
Shake to coat all slices.
Place on dehy trays and dry until done. I set mine on 115 degrees for 7 hours, but remember what I said before~dry it until it is done. We all have different machines and situations AND you can never over dry!
My husband said the finished cucumbers taste like Italian dressing crisps. I love them and will do this again. Give it a try!
Enjoy and God Bless~
