Dehydrating peppers are really simple, and a huge space saver. If properly dried and conditioned these will be shelf stable for years. Peppers are truly a must have to have on hand at all times.
Once I have washed my peppers. I remove the tops and seeds. Then I chop them up either, by hand or many times I use this chopper (huge time saver). You can also slice or mince them if you prefer. Than place them on the dehydrator trays in a single layer and dehydrate for 10 hours.
You will know they are dry when they are extremely brittle.
Store in an air tight container and make sure to condition them for a few days.

Hi Sarah! What does it mean to “condition” the dried peppers for a few days? Do one need to condition all dehydrated food?
Hello Michelle! When I say conditioning it is just an extra step after you have dehydrated your food. When you remove your food from the dehydrator, let it cool to room temp and then put it in your air tight container. What I do is, I leave it on the counter for a few days and once a day give it a gentle shake. If you have any pieces that may not have dried, you will know it. You will see moisture inside the jar.
What does condition them mean?
Hello! Here is a very short video I made where I explain what conditioning is and how to do it correctly.
