Anyway, I will dehydrate these but consider using a brush of oil and a sprinkle of salt over the okra before dehydrating. I did this with zucchini. I sliced it as thin as my slicer will allow, brushed with oil and lightley salted it. Put this on the dehydrator and DELICIIOUS. My sister said to dehydrate the okra whole if you want okra chips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627749570719712047.post-87067587162591862082011-04-28T16:23:38.102-07:002011-04-28T16:23:38.102-07:00Wish I could help you in that department but, ever...Wish I could help you in that department but, every time okras are ready for picking, I eat them right away.

Unfortunately without a US government type budget you will probably not be making freeze dried okra chips or anything else freeze dried for that matter. But you can certainly dehydrate your okra and rehydrate them later use.<br /><br />WrethaWrethaOffGridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941116263529261885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627749570719712047.post-35519337756393635632011-01-31T13:56:26.057-08:002011-01-31T13:56:26.057-08:00I don't know much abput okra (not really a sta...I don't know much abput okra (not really a staple in Canada!) but if you have trays foryour dehydrator that will accept pureed food, I think it's worth a try.<br /><br />Another great dehydrator puree is potatoes. If you have storage potatoes going over to the dark side, boil and mash them (with no added anything except some water to make it really thin and spreadable. Dehydrate on your sheets for homemamde "instant mashed potatoes" that you can add salt, butter etc to later. No, they are NOT as good as regular mashed, but it's better than losing the produce entirely.Irmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187488217492892133noreply@blogger.com
