Dehydrated some last year for my summer trips. I scored mine with a fork to make the crumble have a more regular shape. Was great in the back country and the extra crumble made the tastiest salad topper. Way better than croutons!

[@KevinOutdoors]

Salad topper?! great idea!

[@brentandellesoutdooradventures]

Thanks Kevin. Nice to see some new ideas. Just in time for Spring trip planning.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks, it is the time of year to be thinking about the upcoming tripping season.

[@jamesmarshall806]

Thank you for this video! I always appreciate your food receipes!

[@KevinOutdoors]

You are so welcome!

[@sinfonianbarelytone9191]

Love this. Thanks sir.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Glad you liked it. :)

[@urbanoutdoorsman5654]

Casbah brand dehydrated hummus is excellent tasting and no more expensive than regular hummus. We bring it on all our trips

[@KevinOutdoors]

Good to know!

[@DragonRoams]

Always nice to see a new recipe idea thank for sharing. I will be trying this one soon. Also didn't know you made a book so I ordered that right away.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks so much for the interest!

[@Caramel_Latte_is_Delicious]

So fun! Thanks for the video :)

[@KevinOutdoors]

You are welcome!

I'll have to try this! I make humus now and then, but never dehydrated it. I'm glad you used real lemon, I've used lemon from a bottle (once) and it makes the whole thing sour. Naturally with recipes mine is a bit different, I need some salt in there and I won't be eating uncooked garlic lol, but it should dehydrate the same.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Thanks, I certainly make this a little different each time. The hardest thing for me is writing out the recipe.

[@AJKPenguin]

4:11 Hummus cookies. : ) This will have to be implemented by me. Thank you Kevin. I'll have to try it with red pepper.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Cookies? Interesting. I happen to have a red pepper bean spread video in the making.

[@gordthompson4664]

Another great video, and you make it look so easy (but the experts always do). Do you have any issues with tastes/smells lingering on the dehydrator disks between batches, e.g., doing something garlic-forward like hummus and then something more delicate like fruit?

[@KevinOutdoors]

I don't get lingering flavours from batch to batch. Tomato sauce does stain the trays but I don't find any flavour transfer. I do get flavour transfer when I mix trays in the same batch. Don't do kiwi or banana at the same time as garlic and raw onions :)

[@KevinOutdoors]

And, I am way more garlic forward in real life than in my book or my videos :)

[@rozbrooks8791]

Thanks for a great video. I'm new to your channel. Wow, I had no idea almost EVERYTHING can be dehydrated!! lol Quesstion - can the food be dehydrated in the oven to shave off some of the cooking time? And if so, what would the temp/process be for that? Thanks!

[@KevinOutdoors]

You can use an oven to dehydrate, it will work better with a convection oven and the door propped open a few inches. Set the oven as low as it will go. You won't really save any time in an oven.

[@suzibikerbabe8073]

Would using hot water help rehydrate faster? (If a fire outdoors is an option.)

[@KevinOutdoors]

It would but warm hummus just doesn't seem right. :) Normally if you have travelled for some time the chunks of dried hummus tend to become a finer power anyway. Another difference between being in the backcountry and making a video at home.

[@1967AJB]

Fantastic Kevin, just like old times! And it’s a brilliant book, buy it!

[@KevinOutdoors]

@@1967AJB Thanks buddy! I hope all is well.

[@1967AJB]

@@KevinOutdoors It’s not, that’s why I have you to cheer me up ;)

[@KevinOutdoors]

Glad I can help, a little. All the best!@@1967AJB

[@frankenstein3163]

What the electric bill on doing this ?

[@KevinOutdoors]

I am not sure, I don't notice a higher bill when I do a lot of dehydrating. I will likely do a video on this as I have the equipment to measure the power usage.

[@bloodyeyeful]

I find hummus disgusting. No taste. Too much phytic acid which blocks the absorption of key minerals. To each his own I guess. Blessings.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Ha, OK. To each his own.

[@bloodyeyeful]

@@KevinOutdoors I enjoy your work. Just don't like hummus.

[@neemancallender9092]

Not correct Soaking any type of beans for 24 hours before cooking removes the phythic acid Just change the rinse water

[@bloodyeyeful]

@@neemancallender9092 Doesn't remove it all, and they still taste like wet t.p.
