Air Fryer is becoming my favorite, and I am so much enjoying the recipes I have created with it. These Air fryer Cucumber Chips are amazingly crisp and are oozing with savory and tangy flavors. Frying the cucumbers in air fryer with just a hint of oil and spices is a perfect way to create a low calorie appetizer. This recipe of air fried cucumber chips is so simple and needs pantry ingredients. While you preheat the air fryer for 5-10 min, the cucumbers coated with oil and spices are ready to be air fried. Dunk them in a dip of your choice for a easy snack. More Air fryer Recipes include: Air Fryer Beet Chips, Air Fryer Carrot Fries, Air Fryer Paneer and Air Fryer Grilled Peaches.

Ingredients
Cucumber-Cucumber is the star ingredient of this recipe. The seedless English cucumbers work best. I have skipped peeling them. You may peel if you like it. Make sure to wash them under tap water. The same recipe can be tried with Zucchini and butternut squash. For beet chips, I recommend avoiding mustard sauce as beets are themselves strong in flavor. You won’t like mixing two strong flavors. Olive Oil-Olive oil works best, though you may use any vegan oil of your preference. Mustard Sauce-I have used a local brand of Mustard sauce which is vegan and gf. You may use any mustard sauce (Dijon) but make sure to read labels if you are looking for vegan and gf options. Spices- I have used Turmeric powder and red chilly powder. Feel free to spice it up. Salt-Normal table salt works well. You may use rock or Kosher salt too.
How To Make Air Fried Cucumber Chips
Step 1 Wash, Dry and Chop
Wash the cucumber and pat dry with kitchen cloth. Slice them as you like it. I have sliced in round. You may slice them vertically as well. While you do this, you may pre heat air fryer at 190℃ for about 5-10 min.
Step 2 Coat Cucumbers With Oil and Salt
In a large bowl, add chopped cucumbers, salt, mustard sauce, olive oil, spices and a dash of lemon juice. Toss it to coat each cucumber slice.
Step 3 Air Fry
Place the spice-coated cucumber in air fryer basket with spacing and air fry at 190℃ for about 5-10 min (flipping or shaking) mid way through.
Step 4 Serve It
Serve these crispy air fried cucumber chips with a dip of your choice.
Expert Tips
The seedless English cucumbers work best as they have low water content and would turn out crispy. Wash and dry them a day before for the best crunchy taste. If they are not dried, they won’t be crispy. Serve immediately when the chips are out from the air fryer or else they would turn soggy.
