Dehydrator Sucess

I had a dehydrator as a present and discovered a world of new recipes. Today's snack is courgette (Zucchini) chips. Sooooo tasty, crunchy and they even have a "fried" quality abiut them. Only downside is the salt content, but that's probably adaptable.

Slice a kilo of courgettes very finely (I use a mandolin) and season with 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt and a further tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix with your hands until well coated and load the slices into the dryer. Dry over a couple of days on low until crispy.
Eat!!! 22 calories a serve, 10 servings per recipe.

I'm going to experiment with lemon juice instead of soy to reduce the sodium content, but I shall have to wait for my plants to gather speed and let me have some more courgettes to play with :bigsmile:

That is wonderful!

I have GOT to get me one of these!

I found one at Goodwill a long time ago for $10 and regret not getting it soooo much!

We have our butcher slice paper thin round steak. We use 1 T brown sugar, 4 T soy sauce, hot pepper flakes. The best beef jersey ever. Takes about 10 hours. Put in plastic bags... Enjoy....... The zucchini sounds amazing, thanks

Yea, I had a ton of squash and zucchini from my aunt and grandmothers garden. I was trying all types of recipes including an assortment of healthy zucchini muffins and researching what else I could do with the excess zucchini and squash. I didn't want to freeze them because I like the fresh taste of vegetables and I was afraid that even after blanching and storing the zucchini in an air tight freezer bag that they may still be mushy when I'm ready for them. So I grilled some and dried most. I added onion and garlic powder before I dried them. They tasted great especially when dried until completely crunchy.

I've been on a dehydrating frenzy. I've even dried baby food which the I have tons of that the baby who's now one is not interested in now that she can eat table food. The baby food (fruit variety) make the best fruit roll ups. Both the baby and I enjoy.
