Excalibur Dehydrator is one of my favorite brands of dehydrators due to its temperature control, its even drying, and its ease of use. In this article I am going to give you some simple ways to use your dehydrator.
1. Make Healthy Sweet Potato Chips
Did you know you could make a healthy version of a fried sweet potato chip? All you need is a mandoline slicer, a dehydrator, some sweet potatoes and some salt. Slice the sweet potato thinly with a mandoline on the most thin setting (0.5 mm) using the handguard, and put the slices into a large bowl. Drizzle the sweet potato slices with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt until well covered. Dehydrate the chips in the dehydrator on at least 115 degrees for 24 hrs or until crispy. Makes about 2 dehydrator trays of chips. They start to get soggy soon after they are taken out of the dehydrator, so put them in an air tight container and consume them within a few days.
These make a healthy crunchy snack you can feel good about eating!
2. Dehydrate Some Young Coconut Meat
My absolutely favorite treat is actually one of the most simple to make. Take some young coconut meat and dehydrate it in a dehydrator at 115 degrees for 24 to 48 hrs. At 24 hrs it's still chewy and at 48 hrs it's nice and crispy, both taste great and fill your house with the sweet aroma of coconuts! Young coconuts can be found at your local Asian Grocery Store. Please open them with extreme care!
You can also dehydrate old or mature coconut meat. Grate the coconut meat and then dehydrate the flakes until crispy. Store the flakes in a sealed container in the freezer if you will not be using the flakes right away. Great in recipes!
3. Make Your Own Raw Food "Sun" Dried Tomatoes
Slice some tomatoes and lay them on your dehydrator trays and dehydrate them for about 14-16 hours at 115 degrees until they are completely dry. The thicker the cut, the longer they will take to dry. Eat them as is or use them in recipes. In my opinion, they are so much better than any sun dried tomatoes you can find in a store! They're sweet, tangy, and crunchy like a chip!
