Dehydrating Zucchini

   We have been harvesting HUGE zucchini from our garden this year.  It is the end of August and my hubby is still bringing in a few of them a day.  There is only so much you can eat before it seems to be coming out of your ears.  What to do with it all you may ask?  You can make Parmesan Zucchini; Zucchini bread; Zucchini sticks or you can dehydrate it and make Salt & Vinegar Zucchini Chips, or dehydrate it for future use in cubes or by shredding it.  Today, I'm going to show you how to dehydrate the cubed zucchini.

     First, wash your zucchini and cut off the ends.

Slice the ends off the zucchi.


  Now, cut the zucchini in half and scoop out the seeds and stuff.    We feed this too our chickens.

Now, start cutting the zucchini into cubes.

 Once it is all cut up, place in your dehydrator for about 12 hours.  I just start mine before I go to bed and after my morning coffee, they are done.

     Use the dehydrated zucchini in soups, stews, or casseroles.  You can rehydrate them first (15 minute soak in hot water) or just throw them in dry into the soup or whatever and they cook up just fine.
