Turn your abundant zucchini harvest into a delicious and healthy treat! Learn how to dehydrate zucchini and create sweet and tangy Pineapple Zucchini Candy.
INGREDIENTS
- Pineapple juice
- Zucchini (peeled, de-seeded, and cut into large cubes; they shrink significantly during cooking and dehydrating)
- Powdered sugar
- Cornstarch or tapioca starch
- A dehydrator
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour enough pineapple juice into a large pot to fully submerge the zucchini pieces.
- Add the zucchini cubes to the pot and bring the juice to a boil.
- Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the zucchini becomes soft and translucent, resembling pineapple.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the zucchini from the pot and transfer it to a colander to drain.
- Arrange the drained zucchini pieces in a dehydrator set to 130°F (54°C). Dehydrate for about 18 hours, or until completely dry.
- Once dried, place the zucchini in a bag along with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and cornstarch or tapioca starch. Seal the bag and shake gently to coat the pieces evenly.
