Ingredients (makes 2 large portions or 4 sides):

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 8oz button mushrooms, cut in half (you can also try baby bella or portobello if you’d like)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into medium sized chunks
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (if you want to make this totally raw you can omit this ingredient)
  • 1/4 cup cold pressed olive oil
  • 3T lemon juice
  • 1t onion powder
  • 1t garlic powder
  • 1/2t salt
  • 1/4t black pepper

Directions:

  1. Toss the veggies with the nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper; make sure everything is evenly coated.
  2. Spread evenly onto mesh dehydrator sheets (I used 2 in my Nesco).
  3. Dehydrate at 115F for 1-2 hours (this helps to reduce fermentation) then turn down to 105F for at least 10 hours but you could dehydrate these up to 24 hours if you want them really crispy.

    05 Mar 2010 Hi Lindsay I've been following your blog for the past few months. I live in Amesbury, MA and there's not a whole lot of vegan friendly places to eat and was excited to see your reviews of places near me. Even of those in VT, since I love visiting there. Anyway, I see that you'll be in Boston this weekend and wanted to suggest you trying out Grezzo's while you're in Boston (that is if you haven't tried it already). There's even one in Newburyport, just off of Rte 495/or 95. It's a great raw vegan restaurant I just tried last weekend. I highly suggest their eggplant blt! -Carlina

    05 Mar 2010 Genius! Seriously. You know I love me some fried food. But I like to eat raw and healthier when I can, and I'm always looking for new ways to use my dehydrator. I'm so making this.
