Dry zucchini
Zucchini can be wonderfully dried in the oven, dehydrator or in the air. To do this, wash the vegetables and cut them into 0.5 cm thick slices.
- Air drying: Thread the zucchini on strings and hang them in a dry, airy place.
- Drying in the oven: Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Turn on the tube at the lowest temperature and insert the zucchini. Clamp a wooden spoon in the door so that the moisture can escape. Let dry for about ten hours.
- Darren in the dehydrator: Place the zucchini slices on the grilles and dry them at 45 degrees for six to seven hours.
Tips
Before drying, you can soak the vegetables briefly in water, to which you add a dash of lemon juice or vinegar. Then dry off well. This is how the zucchini keep their light color.
