Equipment

  • Dehydrator
  • mandolin slicer (or a sharp knife)

Ingredients

  • a selection of zucchini

Instructions

  • Slice your zucchini into slices using a mandalin or sharp knife. You want each slice to be about 2-3mm in thickness.

Using a Dehydrator:

  • Lay your zucchini slices in a single layer on dehydrator trays.
  • Set the dehydrator to 60°C (135°F).
  • Dry for 6–12 hours, or until the slices are crisp and brittle.

Using an Oven:

  • Place slices on baking racks (not trays) to allow airflow.
  • Set your oven to the lowest temperature (usually around 60°C (135°F).
  • Leave the oven door slightly ajar and check every couple of hours.
  • Total drying time may take 8–14 hours depending on thickness and humidity.
