Dehydrating Veggies

Eggplant Bacon - that's what this is called, but of course, it's not bacon.
The recipe calls for thinnly sliced eggplant, salted.  And then you press it in between paper towels to remove the moisture.  You then marinate it and put it in a dehydrator.
It says that it's good as a sort of "chip" dipped in hummus.  And you know what?  It is!  A fun new way for me to use and preserve eggplant from my garden.  I've had my dehydrator going quite a bit this month for my tomato crop (romas and grape/cherry) to preserve them and use them dried all throughout the fall, winter and spring.  I'm excited to expand my dehydration to other veggies from my garden.
