Ingredients  

  • A bag of lemons
  • Colander or large bowl
  • A sharp kitchen knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Dehydrator

Instructions 

  1. Rinse the lemons and slice them ¼–⅛ inch thick.
  2. Arrange slices in a single layer on trays—no overlap.
  3. Dehydrate at 130°F (55°C) for approximately 8 hours, or until fully crisp.
  4. Let cool completely and store somewhere dark in an airtight container.

Notes

  • These slices store well for many months if fully dehydrated and kept dry.
  • If you have more slices than tray space, flash freeze on a tray, then bag and store in the freezer.
  • Use the ends and cut-offs for quick fresh lemon juice.
