Dehydrating Zucchini
Dried or dehydrated zucchini makes a wonderful winter dish when it's cooked with other ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini or marrows (or as many as you'd like to dry)
Instructions
- Wash and cut the zucchini into 3 or 4 chunks, as shown below, then remove all the seeds from the middle, without cutting through the flesh of the vegetable.
- Next, cut into thin slices, and slip onto a clean dowel, or bamboo stalk if you have one lying around!
- Now pack those babies away in an airtight tin, or ziploc bag (removing as much air as possible) and save them for a chilly winter's day.
Notes
- Use a large knife and be careful, these zucchini can get very hard.
- If you live somewhere dry, like here in California, you can dry these in the sunshine.
- If you are somewhere more humid, or rainy, you may have to resort to a convection oven's "dehydrate" setting, or an actual dehydrator.
- If the zucchini are mostly dry from outside, just finish drying them in an oven that is just warm, until completely dry (or they will become moldy.)
- It's difficult to say how much this will make because it all depends on the size of your zucchini/marrow.
