I didn’t have two hours as I read the directions wr9mg about each side. Baked them at 325 for 25 minutes first side and 15 second side!

So basically you bake these for a total of two hours right? Since one of the direction steps say bake for one hour on both sides. Please let me know if this is correct.

Can you use an actual dehydrator for these?

  That’s a great question, Erica. I believe you can but you’ll need to adjust it to your dehydrator manufacturer’s recommendations for time and temperature.

I was really excited to try these because I’m on a low-carb diet and I wanted to make some dip to go with them and I just pulled them out of the oven after the two hours and they are extremely floppy. How are you supposed to get them crispy?

  Angel, I would recommend to increase the oven temperature by 25F and/or cook it longer until crispy.

    Would a gas oven make them floppy and not crispy? Ther’s a lot of water in natural gas. Maybe try an electric if you have access to one.

If I bake a lot of these, how long can I keep them stored?

  Tony, they can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.

  In this recipe, we use a dehydration cooking method which always requires you to cook food longer. Unless you prefer to use a deep fryer, but it will be a different zucchini recipe. 🙂
