How can I dry vegetables…?
Yes, you can do it in the oven: Oven dried vegetables So we’re left with the oven. It’s almost certain that you have one, so nothing new to buy. It is time consuming and a little fiddly, but gives a great result. A home oven will only dry small quantities at a time — up to 6lbs (2.72kg) pounds of produce, depending on the number of racks you have; so don’t be preparing bushels of veggies at a time! Set the oven at the lowest temperature and preheat to 140°F (60°C). Drying vegetables at oven temperatures higher than 200°F (93.3°C) will cook them or possibly scorch them. If you are uncertain of the temperature, put a separate oven thermometer on a rack you can see, and check the temperature approximately every half hour. Lay out your vegetables on stainless steel screen mesh or wooden frames covered in cheesecloth.
