RE: Drying Zucchini
I just got done drying some my boss gave me (can't turn down stuff from the boss! lol) I just sliced it pretty thin and dried it in my dinky ronco dehydrator for a day on 135 degrees. My hamster really likes it.

RE: Drying Zucchini
No offense to other feedbacks, but we dry most of our food, especially zucchini. We grate them before we dry them, and they are excellent for stews, sauces, etc. Perhaps the difference is in the other feedback they were only partially dried (if soft, not dried completely) which means they'll still need refrigeration. Make sure it's completely dry (brittle), and as long as no bugs get it (I store in glass and hard plastic), they last for years.

RE: Drying Zucchini
Yes, you can dry zucchini in a food dehydrator. You can dry anything you like. It's nice if you want to use the slices as snack. Try eggplant too. They come out of the dehydrator sort of semi-dry, a bit like sun dried tomatoes. Mind you, if you want to dry them to add to stews or soups, they become too soft. So excellent for healthy snacking, not so good for adding to stews etc. Good luck.

Great idea. My dh also doesnt like casseroles (of about any kind), but dd and I do like them. I will use your idea to have lunches on hand for the both of us.

Good thinking! I bet your husband is missing out on some good food. Do you have any casserole recipes you'd like to share?
