Dehydrating Bell Peppers | Storage | Ways To Use Them

Welcome to the channel. I am so glad you are here. Today, I am sharing how to dehydrate bell peppers. I will show the steps to prep the peppers. How to check for doneness. How to store the finished product. Discuss ways to incorporate them into recipes.
4:14 minutes in- I am showing you why I add more time if the dehydrator is off for awhile before I can get to it. Just to ensure moisture has not been reabsorbed into the product inside. ( I didnt really explain the reasoning in the video clear enough)
To rehydrate bell peppers on their own: cover in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. For most ways to use them such as in soups, stews, chili, stir fry, casseroles or omelettes, you can just toss them in as is (dried) and the liquid in the dish will rehydrate them on its own. This is a great way to keep produce on hand at all times. It cuts down on waste as it will not shrivel up in your produce drawer in the fridge. It will not get covered in ice crystals and be subject to freezer burn. It can easily last for years depending on how you choose to store the finished product. I hope you give this a try! It is one of my must have items on my pantry shelf.

I’m dehydrating peppers too. I’m also dehydrating tomatoes to make a powder.3 parts powder,1part water makes paste.add more water to make sauce. I don’t know how many times I didn’t have a can of tomato paste!

They look beautiful in the jar, I need a dehydrator!!!

[@JaneNorthrop]

You can fit one of the inner round part in that plastic lid to make them more air tight and I just bought some plastic lids on Amazon that have seals with them.

Awesome video! Thank you Angela! I’ll be trying this soon. I bought some frozen onions to dehydrate also… didn’t want to chop all those onions 😂

Hello! I get a lot of my peppers from Eshs and dehydrate them. Just a local tip!😘

[@Cathy-re2eo]

Thank you! I have a dehydrator! I think the same one but haven’t used much! I need to try sweet peppers! My husband hates to hear the motor running and probably what stopped me! He will need to use ear plugs! I did the yogurt in the basement! I don’t want to do food in the basement! We have had mice so I worry because they like the basement!

[@micheleharrison6307]

I love this can I make it into a powder as a seaoning?

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Yes, you can!

[@tammyinwv1]

What vacuum sealing machine do u use?

[@queentwo1265]

Can I put them in a meatloaf?

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Absolutely! The juices from the meatloaf cooking will rehydrate them just fine 😊
