Add zucchini, potato, a quart of water, bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, cook until tender. Purée soup either in blender or I use a stick blender because it’s safer. I have had my share of mishaps with blenders and hot liquids!🤣 I will work out the amounts of dehydrated potato, zucchini and onion when I can, I like to put the soup ingredients together.

If those chips aren't overly seasoned in a way that makes them too much of a flavor, throw them into zucchini bread or powder it for veg powder! (I know you gave it to your chickens and that's not a waste, for sure), but there are other ways to use stuff even if you don't eat them alone!

I have 3 Ronco dehydrators with 8 shelves each. I cut mine in almost ½" slices when they are quite large, about 3" across the middle (seeds are still small and tender), and dry them...when dry they are about ⅛'' thick and about 1½" across. I store them in 1 gallon glass jars. My favorite way to use them is rehydrate them in a bit of broth and add them when I'm about to mash the potatoes for mashed potatoes. Looks so pretty and amount of vitamins is incredible! This Summer I got 4 gallon jars dehydrated, often running all 3 dehydrators at the same time just from two Zucchini plants, two yellow squash plants and two UFO squash plants. They are all basically the same thing and I store them together for reuse.

Hi Darcy, I have just found you 😁 and I’m so glad I have. I bought a 9 tray Excalibur dehydrator about 6 or so years ago and must admit the book that came with it didn’t have a lot of information. I have binge watched your channel over the past week or so and have loved every minute ………. I have learnt more about dehydrating in this time than I have in 6 years. I used to “sprout” a lot of different nuts for my husband I and chicken tenders as treats for our dog………because they always turned out pretty well 😁. Berries, fruit and veggies not so much as they usually went yucky after a while. The last week or so I have dehydrated spinach, celery, mushrooms, capsicum and onion and followed your example of drying them brittle and conditioning them …… never knew about conditioning ?? Makes such a difference. After all that …….. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing all the wonderful advice you give 💖💗💓 I live in Melbourne, Australia, and as we are in our sixth or seventh (?) week of lockdown due to the spread of COVID 19 this has given me something to help fill my days and stop me from going crazy 😜. At least I can get to our local market…..they are within the travel limits that have been set…..yay!! Thanks again. Kind Regards Jude

Lightly butter (or grease) an 8"X8"square baking dish. Combine the black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, sugar, and instant coffee in a blender; blend until smooth; pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the mixture. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Using a potato masher instead of a blender will give you “chunky” brownies, too. However you want more mashed than chunks. ENJOY 😋❤️

Two more ways to use zucchini: 1) Turn it into a pasta noodle substitute by using a potato peeler. I use the large ones that escape detection. Peel the outer, firm part and leave the seed core in the middle. Then saute in a little oil or cook in boiling water until tender. I leave the peels on as they're not sprayed. But you can leave the peels out if you prefer. Then serve with pasta sauce over the top or stir some in before serving. Slice the core like a cucumber and eat the slices on the side plain or with oil & vinegar dressing. 2) Add zucchini to potato salad. Poke holes in zucchini and bake like a potato. Let cool. Cut into cubes the same size as the potato cubes in your potato salad. Add up to half zucchini. The flavor is mild and the texture is similar so I doubt anyone would notice (unless you leave the peelings on like I usually do).

Thank you for all the information. Unfortunately the weather has been really bad this summer here in Austria (Europe) and I only got 1 zucchini so far. Last year the summer was really good and I had so many zucchinis. I still hope that some will grow so that I can make powder. I think the powder will be great for hiding the zucchini in pasta and meat dishes. My daughter is a picky eater, therefore the powder would be great. Greetings from rainy Austria

Sorry to hear that!! But hopefully there are folks who have been able to do well and you can get a great deal at a local market!

Thank you. We love zucchini! And thanks to you...am dehydrating so much. And doing some powders. As humid as it is here in Florida, ordered silica gel packs to put in my jars as I have found that they will last longer and better.

I'm so excited, after two years of saving I finally bought my first dehydrator. I got the sunbeam DT6000 which is the best one in my country. I've watched a lot of your videos and no doubt I'll watch them again and again so thank you so much for all your hard work idea formation, research, filming, editing etc you do for each video. Xx

I’ve done chips before and no body really liked them. I just did diced, and I think that size is really snackable. I’m thinking I’ll just shake a little salt in the jar, and they’ll be good by the handful.

I just bought a zucchini today at the store. I sliced them on my mandolin, about 1/16th-1/8th” thin. I put them on 95, will check them in a few hours, and see how they are doing. I have never made them before, so I didn’t know how thin to slice them. I bought your book, and can’t wait to get it ! Very excited.

I have a book - but it's about the theory of dehydrating, no dehydrating specific things. It's a Q&A type book. Just wait until next spring, though if you want a full book ;) It's coming!

I SO agree with you about the zucchini and how prolific a producer even just one plant is! And what the grocery stores charge for it is almost heinous! Zukes are every bit as easy to grow as sunflowers! UNLESS! You are trying to grow them in a humid clime. Then they are a little trickier to grow. At least that was the case for me. SO glad to have happened upon this video!

Thank you for the inspiration!! We have tons and tons of zucchini coming in!! I have 8 shelves of shreds going and 2 shelves with everything bagel zucchini chips. Definitely going to try doing the jerky at some point. I also saved the ends to do flour but threw in freezer till it’s ready to switch over.
