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.
How to Make Squash Chips
Slice yellow squash or zucchini on a mandoline. Mix apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Mix with the sliced squash chips.
Lay chips on a Teflon lined dehydrator sheet. Dehydrate for 12 hours.

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 oversalted on one occasion.)
- Dehydrate the squash at 110° to keep the nutrients.
- Serve with Vegan Ranch Dressing or your favorite dip.

This looks delicious and simple enough. Certainly far more healthy than what we would get in a package.
Willow Moon says
Most definitely healthier! I love to make substitutions when recipes would normally use refined carbs.
Tami Villa - Hunterly Travels says
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!
Renee Nicole's Kitchen says
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.

they look really nice! Will definitely have to give them a go. Plus always good to find another source of gluten free recipes! Will have to bookmark your blog 🙂
Paola says
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.
Janet says
I make these for my family so they have a healthy snack. They love them!
Willow Moon says
I’m so glad!
Ashton says
Are these crispy or chewy?
Willow Moon says
They are more on the crispy side.
