The Incredibly Shrinking
Pepper
Another vegetable that is fast and easy to dry is the bell pepper. All peppers can be dried, including jalopenos, but that is one pepper you will want to process in the garage or outside. Your eyes and nose won’t be able to stand the fumes while drying!! Here’s a fast rundown on drying peppers.
Wash peppers. I will be using green, red and yellow bell peppers
Slice peppers
Chop peppers and spread onto racks of your dehydrator
I have trays of green peppers on the bottom, then yellow and then red because I like to have a few of the red and yellow fall through to the greens for a pretty mix and then have a mixture of yellow and red as well.
Dry overnight or for 12-15 hours and the peppers pieces will be shrunken and hard
Dried peppers make a pretty gift for the cooks in the family. They can be used in any recipe that calls for peppers! You can either reconstitute by letting them soak in warm water or just put them into a recipe to reconstitute as it cooks.
Happy Cooking!
