How to Dehydrate Bell Peppers
Dehydrated bell peppers work great in soups, stews, sauces, and stir-fries, adding a sweet and slightly smoky flavour. They also work well in spice blends and homemade seasoning mixes.
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- Bell peppers, sliced or diced
Instructions
- 1. Wash and slice off the stems, membranes, and remove the seeds
- 2. Slice peppers into the desired size or shape (such as strips, diced pieces or rings)
- 3. Arrange on a mesh lined dehydrating tray with enough room for air to circulate between the pieces (avoid over lapping)
- 4. Place in dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F for about 8-10 hours
Notes
- A mesh liner is required for diced peppers; recommended for strips and larger cuts
- Dehydrating times may vary (the water content in the peppers, as well as the humidity and altitude of where you live in impact the time)
