Spicy Nacho Cheese Cucumber Chips

Spicy Nacho Cheese Cucumber Chips are the perfect snack for parties! Low in carbs and oh so tasty, no one will care it’s a chip made from cucumbers!

Whether you like chips or not, these spicy nacho cheese cucumber chips must be tried at least once in your life!

A chip made with cucumber is really nothing like you’ve tried before. It’s a different flavor than using zucchini. I do love my zucchini chip creations as well, especially my Salt & Vinegar ones that went viral last year at this time. But cucumber, especially English cucumbers are a wonderful change from zucchini and offer it’s own unique flavor.

The spices and seasonings are how ordinary slices of cucumber become so much more! These are made in a dehydrator and I’m sure they could be made in an oven on a very low temperature, I haven’t made the effort to try.

I like the dehydrator for the very fact I don’t need to babysit them as if they were in an oven for a long period of time or worry they would burn.

If you’ve always loved the taste of Doritos, these will be your new happy, healthier treat!

Chips have always been my favorite type of snack at parties and making them healthier is my  way to enjoy the flavors I used to love without the guilt and high carbs!

Please note: I used 1/2 tsp of chili powder and my kids could not eat them and thought they were too spicy. So try less the first time you make them if you are making them for the family.
