No need to peel. Wash, run it through a mandolin, dry at 150 for 2 – 3 hours (check after 2), grind the dried ginger, then run it through a sieve (you know like a flour sifter), throw away the dried skin and big chunks..

I just made some spiced tea which I drank a lot when I lived in East Africa and have brought the habit home to the UK – as I had no fresh ginger I had to use ground ginger – but while waiting for the spices to infuse I had exactly the same thought as you – “wouldn’t it be lovely to make spiced tea bags” so searched for dried ginger online – saw it was pretty expensive, and then your post about dehydrating! … I haven’t got a dehydrator yet but it is on my list of things I need for my kitchen! … Thank you for the information and lovely to meet a fellow spiced tea fan! 🙂

I make pineapple chips that melt in your mouth. Very ripe fresh pineapple, cleaned and cored. Cut into chunks and run through a blender until it is like puree. Using teflon sheets or plastic wrap on your trays Pour the puree onto the trays. Shake it to thin it out to about 1/8th inch. Dehydrate 8 to 12 hours until it is crisp. Break into pieces and enjoy.

Dehydrators are so Awesome! The options are unlimited when it comes to making healthy food in them. I can’t get enough of kale chips, so I enjoy experimenting with all sorts of kale chips recipes. And the kids love them too. But I also enjoy other dehydrator recipes like pumpkin fruit leathers, spicy buffalo cauliflower popcorn, dried persimmons, mushrooms and the list can go on.
