Preparation:

-
Prepare the Dehydrator:
- Ready the dehydrator for use according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Slice the Veggies:
- Wash the veggies thoroughly and slice them as per the instructions.
- Arrange bell peppers on the bottom three tiers, onions on the next, and tomatoes on the top tier.
-
Dehydration Process:
- Turn on the dehydrator and let it operate as directed.
- The duration will vary (8-12 hours) based on the thickness of the slices.
-
Removing Dried Veggies:
- Once dried, remove each veggie by hand.
- For stubborn pieces, cool the dehydrator and gently scrape them off onto plastic wrap.
-
Crushing the Seasonings:
- Transfer the dried veggies to a bowl and crush them to your preferred size using the back of a tablespoon.
- Add the dried lemon rind/zest at this stage.
-
Bottling the Seasonings:

- Add garlic powder and black pepper.
- Cap the bottle, and your seasoning blend is ready for use.
-
Optional Enhancements:
- You can customize your seasoning blend further by incorporating dried herbs like basil, according to your taste preference.
-
Storage Note:
- Keep in mind that dried veggies yield a lesser amount of finished product.
- For large batches, start several days in advance, drying one type of veggie at a time until all are dried thoroughly.
-
Important Reminder:
- Ensure that the veggies are completely dry to prevent mold and spoilage.
