I know there are recipes that marinate vegetables such as zucchini and broccoli in nama shoyu then dehydrate. I think you can get creative here by using different marinating liquids such as lemon and/or vegetable juices. You can also make veggie chips.

Make the "Rich Cheddar Sauce" recipe floating around here, put it over lots of broccoli pieces, and dehydrate until it's nice and warm and everything... And you've got a super healthy version of "broccoli & cheese"... mmmmmmm...

Oh, and the Rich Cheddar Sauce recipe makes a LOT, so with the extra, spread it on a teflex sheet, dehydrate until crisp, and you've got "Cheeze-Its" crackers... :)

Turn your leafy greens into chips! Just marinate briefly and then dehydrate until crunchy. Mmmmm. My favorite is bok choy.

I've been meaning to try the broccoli and cheese recipie. Thanks for reminding me and posting that! :D

I like to use up left over veggie platter veggies by pureeing them in the food processor with some flax then drying them into crackers. Very refreshing tastey crackers.

Graciously,

That's a great idea, I hate wasting leftover veggies. I'm going to try that. :)
