VEGETABLES:
Spread Vegetables in a single layer
Vegetables will vary in their drying times. Blanching decreases drying times but not all vegetables are
blanched. The average drying times below are general and depend on different vegetables. The top
cover vents can be adjusted. Keeping the vents open will allow for a faster drying time.
Food Preparation
Asparagus Cut into 1" pieces. Tips are best. Stems crushed after drying make an
excellent seasoning.
Artichoke Slice hearts into 1/8" strips, boil in 3/4 cup water with 1 tablespoon
Hearts lemon juice for 5 to 8 minutes.
Brussel Sprouts - Cut sprouts from stalks, cut in half length- wise through stem.
Sprouts

Cauliflower Separate into flowerets. Place in 2 quarts of water (with 3 tablespoons
salt) for 3 minutes. Steam until tender.

so remove when dry. Flake leaves after drying, for use in soups, stews,
