Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis: Approximately 1 pound each, sliced thinly for quick and even dehydration.

Equipment:

• Homtone pizza oven with dehydrate function.
• Baking sheets or silicone baking mats.
• Parchment paper (optional, for easier cleanup).
• A sharp knife.
• Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot trays.
• Wire rack for cooling the zucchini.
• Airtight container for storing the finished dehydrated zucchini.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini

1. Wash the Zucchini: Rinse the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Slice: Using a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds or half-moons about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. Thinner slices will dehydrate faster and more evenly.

Step 2: Arrange the Zucchini Slices

1. Prepare the Baking Sheets: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
2. Place Zucchini Slices: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, ensuring they don't overlap. Overlapping can cause uneven dehydration.

Step 3: Dehydrate the Zucchini

1. Dehydrate: Set your oven to the DEHYDRATE function at 200°F (93°C). This temperature will help remove moisture from the zucchini slices without burning them. Place the baking sheets with zucchini slices in the oven. Dehydrate for 4-5 hours, or until the zucchini slices are completely dry. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your zucchini slices and the efficiency of your oven.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

1. Cool: Remove the zucchini slices from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to allow any residual heat to dissipate.
2. Transfer: Once cooled, transfer the dehydrated zucchini to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their crispness.
3. Serve: Enjoy your homemade dehydrated zucchini as they are or store them in an airtight container for later.

Tips for Dehydrated Zucchini:

• Zucchini Selection: Choose fresh zucchinis for the best flavor and texture.
• Slice Uniformity: Try to keep the zucchini slices as uniform as possible for even dehydration.
• Monitoring: Check on your zucchini slices periodically to ensure they don't over-dehydrate.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their crispness. If they start to soften, you can dehydrate them a bit longer next time you want to enjoy them.
