Welcome to my kitchen! Today, we're going to show you how to dehydrate celery to preserve its freshness and flavor. Let's get started!
Step 1: Wash and Prepare the Celery
Make sure to remove any dirt or debris from the celery stalks and trim off any brown or wilted ends.
Step 2: Slice or Dice the Celery
You can slice the celery into thin pieces or dice it into small cubes, depending on your preference. I am using the slice attachment on my food processor.
Step 3: Arrange Celery on Dehydrator Trays
Spread out the celery pieces on the trays. Make sure not to overcrowd the trays to ensure efficient drying.
Step 4: Set the Dehydrator Temperature and Time
For celery, we recommend setting the temperature to around 125°F to 135°F and dehydrating for 6 to 8 hours.
Step 5: Check for Dryness
The celery should be dry and crispy to the touch with no signs of moisture.
Step 6: Store the Dried Celery
Store the dried celery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
And there you have it! Your own homemade dehydrated celery, perfect for adding flavor to soups, stews, and snacks. Thanks for watching!
