These healthy dehydrated Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips are a great alternative to potato chips. Perfect for gardeners!
These Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips are a healthy crunchy snack. They have a touch of olive oil, but not enough to make them greasy. I had to make a large batch because they were eaten up so quickly.
If you are a gardener, this is an excellent way to use up a bunch of squash. I am not a gardener, but I have heard that zucchini and yellow squash can take over a garden.
These dehydrated chips are just one of the ways that I love to use my dehydrator. I have also made Apple Walnut Balls, Everything Bagel Flax Crackers, and Cherry Banana Fruit Roll-Ups to name a few.
A dehydrator heats food at low temperatures, so it keeps more of the nutrients than an oven.

Tips for Making Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips
- You can slice the squash chips 1/8" - 1/4". I preferred the 1/8" chips over the thicker chips.
- Taste the apple cider vinegar mixture to check salt levels. (I over-salted on one occasion.)
- Dehydrate the squash at 110° to keep the nutrients.
- Serve with Vegan Ranch Dressing or your favorite dip.

I made these last night using a mixture of yellow squash and black beauty zucchini. I used apple cider and white vinegar. I thought they were very good as is, but I wanted to spice it up a bit so after I took them out of the dehydrator, I tossed them with a mixture of sugar/cayenne pepper/smoked paprika. DELICIOUS!!!! Like a smoky barbecue potato chip!

What a great addition! I'll have to try that!

Can these be stored and if so how and for how long?
Willow Moon says
If you store them in an airtight container, they should last a long time. I’ve eaten them weeks later and they still tasted great.
