Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Fruits
  • 1 Cup Vegetables
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare all the ingredients you need for dehydrating and ready your dehydrator for the dehydrating process. Make sure to wash and clean your ingredients first before anything to make sure there is no more dirt left especially on vegetables like broccoli.
  • Slice everything as evenly as possible. Thicker slices will take longer to dry, while thinner ones will become crispier. For the veggies, I cut them thinly and for my berries, either I cut them in half or cut them thinly depending on their size.
  • Start arranging the dehydrator by brushing a little olive oil on the dehydrator trays to prevent sticking. After spreading the oil, start adding the sliced ingredients until they all fit. Since we are making small batches, I do one tray for each fruit and veggie. Keep in mind that it is important not to overcrowd the trays so the air can circulate and they all dry evenly.
  • Set the dehydrator to the recommended temperature for your chosen food, and let it run for several hours until the food reaches your desired dryness.

Notes

  • Adding olive oil to the dehydrator trays will help prevent sticking during the drying process.
  • Rotate the trays halfway through the process for consistent results and the best texture of the final product.
  • Do not rush the drying process because slow and steady gives the best texture.
  • You can sprinkle some spice or salt and pepper onto your sliced snacks before dehydrating them for an additional flavor once they are dried.
