Equipment

  • Dehydrator

Ingredients

  • 1 cantaloupe

Instructions

  • Cut the cantaloupe in half. Scoop out and toss the seeds.
  • Cut the halves in half, and then those halves in half.
  • Use a paring knife to cut the cantaloupe off the exterior skin. Then cut those wedges into thin strips, 1/8-1/4" thick.
  • Place the slices on dehydrator trays with ample space around.
  • Set the dehydrator for 135 degrees F and dehydrate the slices for 12-14 hours. Check routinely - adding more time as necessary.
  • When the slices are done, they should be leathery. Store in a cool, dry area in a ziplock bag or jar.
