<\/p>\nThe summer vegetable garden is not complete without a few zucchini and summer squash plants. They are easy to grow and provide abundant harvests. Preserve that garden goodness by dehydrating zucchini.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Use freshly harvested, small to medium size zucchini with no blemishes or soft spots. Wash to remove any residue and soil. Trim off ends and cut zucchini into 1\/4-inch slices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on your dehydrator trays. The pieces can touch, but try not to overlap them, or they may not dehydrate evenly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Set the temperature of your dehydrator between 125\u02daF and 135\u02daF (or per your dehydrator’s instructions). Drying time ranges between 5-11 hours depending on the humidity in the air and moisture level in your zucchini. Swap your trays about half way through. Zucchini is brittle when dry.<\/p>\n

Remove the dehydrated zucchini from the dehydrator and let it cool for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Once the dried zucchini has cooled, place it in a jar, and label. Store the jars in a cool, dark place.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t have a food dehydrator, you can also dehydrate zucchini in your oven on a baking sheet at the lowest setting.<\/p>\n
Use freshly harvested, small to medium size zucchini with no blemishes or soft spots. Wash to remove any residue and soil. Trim off ends and cut zucchini into 1\/4-inch slices.<\/p>\n
Use parchment paper to prevent the zucchini slices from sticking to the baking sheet. Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. The pieces can touch, but try not to overlap them or they may not dehydrate evenly.<\/p>\n
Set the oven at the lowest temperature, usually this is around 150\u02daF degrees. Place the baking sheets in the center of the oven. Leave the oven door open a few inches and watch carefully so the zucchini doesn’t burn.<\/p>\n
Drying time ranges between 2-5 hours. Zucchini is brittle when dry.<\/p>\n
Remove the baking sheets from the oven, and let cool for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once the dried zucchini has cooled, place it in a jar, and label. Store the jars in a cool, dark place.<\/p>\n
