Banana chips are a favorite around here.

Happy (early?) Birthday!

I have the same one, love it. Yup, banana chips are an easy first, followed by apple chips. We love making fruit leathers--just applesauce plus whatever berries are seasonal (around here it's strawberries right now--you can sieve out some of the seeds before you dry the mixture).

Happy Early Birthday and what a wonderful present!

Found a neat link on dehydrating vegetables and they have directions for making cucumber chips.

Cucumber is technically a fruit like tomatoes, but since most people think of it as a vegetable, Ill include it here on the dehydrating vegetables page. Dried cucumbers are fair for snacking on like a chip or they can be chopped or powdered to use as a seasoning in dips and soups. Because of the thick waxy coating, I peel cucumbers first and then cut into 1/8 inch slices. Arrange in a single layer and sprinkle with a little salt if desired. Dehydrate at 125 for six to eight hours until leathery. Increase temperature to 135 and dry cucumbers for a few more hours if you plan to powder them.
