Dehydration in your air fryer

Method:

Apples

We used dried small Top Red apples with the Pork Belly.

Slice an apple very thinly on a mandolin slicer.

Dip slices in a Vitamin C sugar syrup (1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar, ¼ cup (60 ml) water and 1

crushed Vit C tablet or juice of ½ lemon).

Spread out on baking paper.

Dry out at 80 °C for ± 30 minutes.

Naartjie and Lime Slices

1 - 2 undersized naartjies and 1 - 2 limes (see pic)

Slice thinly into slices.

Dip slices into sugar.

Pack out on baking paper.

Dry out at 80 °C for ± 30 minutes.

Thyme

Put two good handfuls of thyme on baking paper in the air fryer.

Dry out at 80 °C for ± 30 minutes.

Cool, rub to separate hard stems.

Store in a glass jar.

Chillies

Handy to have in the kitchen.

Place a good handful of red chillies on baking paper in your air fryer.

Dry out at 80 °C for ± 1 hour, depending on size.

String with raffia or cotton string and hang upside down, ready to pick off when

needed.
