Ingredients

Scale

Pickle Chips

  • 4 sugar-free pickles
  • Optional: dried dill powder for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Slice Pickles: Slice your pickles as thinly and evenly as possible to ensure uniform dehydration. Thin slices help achieve the desired crisp texture.
  2. Pat Dry: Lay the pickle slices on a paper towel and gently pat each slice dry to remove excess moisture. Repeat with a fresh paper towel until the slices feel mostly dry to the touch.
  3. Arrange and Dehydrate: Place the pickle slices in a single layer on your dehydrator trays, air fryer rack, or a baking sheet if using the oven. Set the temperature to between 130°F and 140°F, and dehydrate for 4 to 5 hours. Continue drying until the chips are crispy and snap easily instead of bending.
  4. Enjoy or Process Further: Eat the dehydrated pickle chips immediately as a crunchy snack. Alternatively, use a blender to grind them into pickle powder. For added flavor, sprinkle dried dill powder over the chips before serving.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free pickles to avoid added sugars and better control flavor.
  • Uniform slice thickness ensures even drying and texture.
  • Drying times may vary based on pickle moisture content and appliance; check periodically.
  • Store dehydrated pickle chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Pickle powder made from these chips can enhance salads, dips, or seasoning blends.
