Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, thinly slice the cucumbers into uniform 1/4-inch rounds.

To create the skull faces, use a metal straw or a small circular cutter to punch out two 'eye' holes and one 'nose' hole from each cucumber slice. Then, using a small paring knife, carefully cut a jagged line across the bottom third of each cucumber slice to form the 'teeth' or 'jawbone' of the skull.

Arrange the carved cucumber skulls neatly on a serving platter or plate.

Generously sprinkle the flaky sea salt over all the cucumber skulls.

Drizzle the chili oil evenly over the seasoned cucumber skulls.

Serve immediately as a spooky and refreshing appetizer or side dish.
