Dehydrating Carrots

03/3/17 250.2 lbs

Carrots are a staple ignored by everyone, for some reason. You eat the shreads as filler, the chips as dip, the babies as munchies, hurl insults at the sugary content, remind yourself of the beta-keratine.

But no one really wants to chop their own carrots up. Heck, first time I cut up one as a child I nicked my finger deep enough to quit playing with mama's knives for half a decade-still have the scar:


This ain't one of those times. I am highly unlikely to cut up carrots to this day.

But I did dehydrate some chips and gound them, as well as some shreads (julienned).

This one?


This is what one pound of chips comes out to. The grind is really coarse.

This one?


This is what 2 pounds of shreads comes out to. The grind is much less coarse. The difference in color was due to partially cooking the previous batch before it was dehydrated. So, if color is important, nuke it before dehydrating.

Conclusion? Dehydrate the shreads, eat the chips.

Be lazy. Be a good Couillon.
