That’s exciting! Dehydrators open up a world of possibilities. Here are some fun things to try:
-
Fruits: Start with apples, bananas, or strawberries. They make great snacks and can be added to cereals or trail mixes.
-
Vegetables: Try dehydrating bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots. They can be used in soups, stews, or as chip alternatives.
-
Herbs: Dehydrate fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or cilantro. You can crush them into homemade seasoning blends.
-
Jerky: If you enjoy meat, try making beef or turkey jerky. Just marinate the meat beforehand for extra flavor.
-
Fruit Leather: Blend up your favorite fruits and spread them out on the dehydrator trays for homemade fruit leather.
-
Nuts and Seeds: Dehydrate raw nuts and seeds for a crunchy snack or to enhance their flavor.
-
Flowers: For something unique, try drying edible flowers like nasturtiums or pansies for use in salads or baking.
Don’t forget to experiment and have fun with it!
