Dehydrate/Rehydrate Veggies start to finish
You will need:
-Dehydrator
-Veggies of choice.
-Cooking equipment
-Stovetop for blanching
Time.
Start off with you dehydrator load it up.
View media item 65226(These are greens)I was trying to do Kale.
You can dehydrate any leafy green
Blanching will increase flavor profile & will also have a better texture.
This is me blanching some Acorn Squash....
Put about 1-2 inches of water and put your veggies in there & boil for about 5 mins W/ a lid on.
Let them get soft..
Here's some more summer squash that has been blanched & some other veggies I could find in the fridge.

Depending on the veggies and dehydrator process could take anywhere from 12-36 hours.
Here's what I had come up with-

View media item 65231
Separating greens and squash/carrots
Greens could be more done...
Final product of the veg that needed rehydrated...
Turned out quite well
But I have shelf-life (Hopefully stable for 4-8 mos.) salad here now & I think my beardie likes it.
Let me know what you guys think and if your beardie takes to it like mine
Add Silica Gel packets to preserve freshness
Put your veggies in an airtight container
Store in fridge potentially indefinitely.
