And how to dry unsweetened zucchini - for example, for pancakes or for casseroles? I once tried to dry it with rings, but everything got moldy. Maybe someone has experience?

Eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers were washed, peeled, cut and put on trays. The vegetables were dried for 8 hours
at + 50 ° C on 6 trays.

From 1 kg of eggplant it turned out:
820 gr. (82%) - peeled eggplant
180 gr. (18%) - waste.
59 gr. - dried eggplants.

Reconstituted dried zucchini and eggplants can be used like fresh ones: fry with onions in a skillet or add to stews, porridge. The dishes are delicious, mail, as well as with fresh ones. Dishes from dried cucumbers are, frankly, not very tasty - not for everybody. Some people add dried cucumbers to pickle pickles.

Dry, enjoy!

Tanya, thanks for the reference. I read it all. But it seems to me. That it is necessary to blanch zucchini., Eggplants., Cucumbers. So that they are not "raw" and moldy in the future.

I dry without blanching. I cut it on the dryer - they dry very quickly and tightly like pieces of wood.

If you like it, blanch!

The principle of drying is to remove moisture from the product, then it will be well stored, no matter in what form it was laid for drying - wet or dry.
In any case, it all depends on our knowledge and desires.

That summer I dried like this: I cut the zucchini into cubes, salted it so that the liquid would drip off them, and then dried it. When excess liquid comes out of them, they dry faster ... Added to soups, stewed potatoes ...

And for frying, how to restore dried zucchini and eggplant?
Admin
Pour in a little water, let the liquid soak for a while, so that the zucchini (eggplant) becomes soft. Then drain the water, dry the zucchini with a towel and fry.
But it should be borne in mind that dried zucchini and eggplants are a specific product, the taste does not suit everyone. Therefore, you can now dry 1 zucchini or eggplant for a sample, and then restore them and fry, or add to the soup - and then evaluate "do I need it"?

Last year I dried zucchini.

Soup greens (a mixture of dried vegetables, herbs)
They are beautifully preserved, with little storage space. Stand in glass jars with lids at room temperature. The only thing is that the taste is very rich, and I still soak them beforehand, and drain the water. If this is not done, then the broth turns out to be darker. And for baking and pancakes, pre-soak.

Galina, if you add zucchini before drying, after drying, what do they taste like? Salty?
ala
Yes, it tastes salty ... now I specially tasted a piece (cube) ... salinity. .., how to put it that way, ... pleasant (not brine). Nobody will eat them raw (dried) anyway ...
Chionodox
Galina, why not eat it? After all, we eat fresh raw ones ... I very often add raw zucchini to a salad. It gives the salad some extraordinary oiliness.

Very often, especially in winter, I make a vegetable salad, where instead of cucumbers I cut fresh raw zucchini - it turns out very mentally
ala
I almost never eat zucchini and eggplants ... (except for dried zucchini), and so at least I'll shove it in the soup ...
