How to Dehydrate Zucchini
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- 1½ cup zucchini, chopped or shredded (or 12 slices)
Instructions
- 1. Slice, chop or shred zucchini into the desired size or shape (but no more than 1/4" thick; maintain consistent thickness as best possible)
- 2. Optional: lightly coat or spray the zucchini with lemon juice or an ascorbic acid based product
- 3. Arrange on a mesh lined dehydrating tray with enough room for air to circulate between the pieces (avoid over lapping; spread well if shredded)
- 4. Place in dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F for about 7 hours
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer to best maintain consistent thickness
- A mesh liner is required for shredded and cubed zucchini
- Dehydrating times may vary (the water content in the zucchini, as well as the humidity and altitude of where you live in impact the time)
