jeanettecentaur Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 These Zucchini Chips are paper thin, crunchy, and covered in a sprinkle of Pink Himalayan Salt. I will never every buy Lay's Potato Chips again! Not that I really buy Potato Chips, but you know what I mean... https://www.dropbox.com/s/urbjvpxnarhpemt/ZucchiniChips.jpg Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 How long do you dehydrate them? Quote Link to comment
jeanettecentaur Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 We used a mandolin to slice them 1/8 inch, sprinkled them with a bit of salt, then dehydrated @125 degrees for 6 hours or until done. We live on the bay, so it stays pretty humid here...but they are still crispy and crunchy and delicious! Didn't bother to vaccuum seal since I know they won't last long... Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah, a lot of veggies can be chips....not just taters. Zuke are good...but I can't get them to grow here. Where are all those people trying to get rid of their zucchini when you need them? MtRider Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Lovely picture! I might have to try that this summer. I don't care for Zuk or Squash but I might like them that way. Worth a try since they are so good for you. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've got several vacuum sealed jars of dehydrated zuchini, squash, watermelon, canteloupe, lemon, limes & orange slices. Love 'em! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Philbe, did your lemon slices turn brown after you dried them? I've seen some that are brown and some that are still yellow? I was thinking of doing some and rolling them in sugar before drying. Not sure why though. Just another hair-brained idea probably. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 LOL Jeepers. I've seen that too and.....it doesn't make sense does it? Cuz instructions tell you to dip some veggies in LEMON water before dehydrating to preserve color. MtRider ....gonna see how this gets answered.... Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'll admit it, my first thought was dipping them in lemon juice. Duh. They are lemon juice. Quote Link to comment

I was thinking of doing some and rolling them in sugar before drying. Not sure why though. Just another hair-brained idea probably. The lemon slices nearly always turn dark, the limes too, but orange slices seem to stay pretty. Sprinkling them with sugar (I think most people dip them in white syrup though) would be an idea worth experimenting with. We love ours "straight" ... LOL Quote Link to comment
kyles mom Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 How do you use the dehydrated citrus slices? Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 How do you use the dehydrated citrus slices? Sometimes I put a slice or two into a glass of iced water with cubes, sometimes a slice in a cup of tea, sometimes I grind them up with my coffee grinder to make "zest" for baking etc. I even reconstituted some to pin on my Christmas ham & let them flavor the ham a bit. Being creative with them is fun! Quote Link to comment
