FRIED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Line a plate with a paper towel; set aside.
• Roll the cucumber slices in the cornmeal. Fry the slices in the hot oil, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cucumbers to the prepared plate; sprinkle with salt to serve.

DEHYDRATE CUCUMBERS AND MAKE CUCUMBER POWDER

• Slice into 1/4" coins - they will shrink a lot
• Add favorite seasoning if making cucumber chips
• Dry at 125F / 52C for approximately 6-10+ hrs
• Allow samples to cool - should snap/crush easily when dry
• Condition if putting up for storage
• Store in airtight containers
• Place cucumber slices into your grinder of choice
• Process into a fine powder
• Dry powder in a warmed (but off) oven for 15-20 min
• Store in an airtight container with desiccant if preferred

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.

BAKED CUCUMBER CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice cucumbers thinly, about an 1/8 of an inch in thickness.
• Pat cucumbers dry and add them to a bowl. Mix well with your seasoning of choice.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cucumbers onto the baking sheet, lying flat and separated.
• Bake low and slow at 170 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours. Time will depend on how large your cucumbers are.
• Remove the cucumbers from the oven once they are dried out and crispy.
• Enjoy your healthy snack!

CUCUMBER SLICES WITH DILL

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine cucumbers, onions and dill. In a medium size bowl combine sugar, vinegar, water and salt; stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the liquid mixture over the cucumber mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving (the longer this dish marinates the tastier it is!).
