These healthy crispy Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips are a great alternative to potato chips. Great for gardeners who want to use up a bunch of squash!
These Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips have a touch of olive oil, but not enough to make them greasy. I used Apple Cider Vinegar, which has many health benefits. 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 chips are just one of the ways that I love to use my dehydrator. I have dehydrated bananas to make Banana Pecan Balls, tomatoes to make sun-dried tomatoes, and a variety of different crackers. A dehydrator heats whatever you put in it at low temperatures, so it keeps more of the nutrients.

Salt and Vinegar Squash Chips
Ingredients
- 1 yellow squash or zucchini (2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- salt
Instructions
- Slice squash on mandoline at 1/8 setting (or, if you want thicker chips, a higher setting).
- Mix olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Put squash in and mix around to coat.
- Put squash slices on Teflon sheets on dehydrator trays.
- Dehydrate at 110ᵒ for 12 hours or until crispy.
If you like to make recipes in a dehydrator, you may also like Zucchini Walnut Crackers. If you are a gardener, these rich crackers are a great way to use up some zucchini.

This looks delicious and simple enough. Certainly far more healthy than what we would get in a package.

Most definitely healthier! I love to make substitutions when recipes would normally use refined carbs.

These look delicious! I wouldn’t have thought to use squash to make chips. What a healthy alternative!
Willow Moon says
They are healthy and taste great too. You won’t miss the potato, I swear!

Squash is one of those vegetables I am still exploring. I’ll add this to the list of reasons to get a dehydrator – although I have no idea where I would store it!
Willow Moon says
You might want to look into the round ones. I think they might take up less space than the rectangular ones. It all depends on how much you’re going to use it. You could always set your oven on a really low temp.

Oh my that sounds so easy and delicious, I must have a go at it!!!
Jenn says
What a great idea! I never would have thought to make chips out of squash!
Cassy Bug says
is there a way to do this without a dehydrator? because I do not own one and these sound delicious
Willow Moon says
Thanks Cassy! You could bake them at a very low temp. and just make sure you keep an eye on them. I have not personally done it, but have heard other people make my crackers (which are also dehydrated) in the oven. The other thing I would say is that you may want to slice them on the thicker side. These are pretty thin and I would imagine would cook quickly when baking.
