I put the okra in last night, so we'll see how it goes. I've never dehydrated okra before, though I do dehydrate other fruits and veggies. I'm hoping for crunchy w/ slime control!

The first of the dehydrated okra is finished this morning. It turned out pretty good. If you like fried okra you will like the dehydrated seasoned okra. It is very crunchy which I like, but it does retain some of the okra texture, not an obnoxious amount, I think I could get used to eating it, even like it. I seasoned it w/ garlic powder, black pepper, and a cajun mixed seasoning.

I hate okra, but have dried zucchini. I like it. I have been using my dehydrator a lot this year. Mainly on tomatoes, but I have also dried cherries, peaches, grapes off my vines, several types of tomatoes, and next will be apples.

wifezilla, I agree not a big okra fan either, but it grows so well here, I'm trying any method I can think of to make it edible. It is actually very healthy and low in calories, high in "B" vitamins and trace minerals.

I'm also dehydrating peppers right now, plan on grinding it for my own pepper powder/flakes depending on how ground it gets.
