Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini or marrows (or as many as you'd like to dry)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and cut the zucchini into 3 or 4 chunks, as shown below, then remove all the seeds from the middle, without cutting through the flesh of the vegetable.
  2. Next, cut into thin slices, and slip onto a clean dowel, or bamboo stalk if you have one lying around!
  3. Now pack those babies away in an airtight tin, or ziploc bag (removing as much air as possible) and save them for a chilly winter's day.

Notes

  • Use a large knife and be careful, these zucchini can get very hard.
  •  If you live somewhere dry, like here in California, you can dry these in the sunshine.
  • If you are somewhere more humid, or rainy, you may have to resort to a convection oven's "dehydrate" setting, or an actual dehydrator.
  • If the zucchini are mostly dry from outside, just finish drying them in an oven that is just warm, until completely dry (or they will become moldy.)
  • It's difficult to say how much this will make because it all depends on the size of your zucchini/marrow.
