I hope you are ready for a new sun-dried tomato recipe, because I have a real treat for you today –  some amazing Sun-dried tomato chips with sea salt, cashew and herbs that are almost too good to be true! :) I also have a review for my new favorite ‘mean machine’, a dehydrator from Froothie that I absolutely love!

I have to tell you that this incredible dehydrator makes things so much easier when it comes to dehydrating … anything that you can put your hands on!

Veggies and fruits? They all taste more AMAZING after dehydrating, it’s like their aroma it’s somehow enhanced in an incredibly delicious kind of way. I mainly used the dehydrator for drying tomatoes. ‘Cause I’m kind of obsessed with sun-dried tomatoes with aromatic herbs, remember? :)

But I’ve also used it to make some fabulous dried fruits.

Dehydrated bananas and kiwis are some of the most tasteful things you will ever try! I brushed the slices with a little bit of lemon juice before dehydrating to also preserve their colors … and I couldn’t stop eating them after they were dried! Yum!

The dehydrator uses a new Parallex drying system that basically uses low temperatures to dry food, allowing air to circulate throughout all trays top to bottom, front to back. That means you don’t have to remove the trays and rotate them when dehydrating your food (like I’ve seen other people do with their dehydrators), the Optimum P200 from Froothie will do all the hard work for you!

I also dehydrated lots of veggies (carrots, parsley, parsnip, beet, peppers, etc) so I can have some healthy alternatives to add into soups (my favorites this time of year) and other delicious meals.

And some super healthy carrot crakers with flax seeds, sesame and herbs that I will share with you soon!

The Optimum P200 from Froothie comes in two versions, with 6 or 10 trays. The easy-to-use and versatile design is equipped (on top) with a 40-hour digital timer, adjustable thermostat and a drying guide. You just have to fill the trays with all the food you want to dehydrate, set the temperature and the timer and you let it do its magic! Depending on your food, the dehydrating process can take from a few hours to 10-12 hours or longer, until completely dry.

The dehydrator will remove moisture from food and it will dry it without destroying its properties. After dehydrating, the food will preserve its enzymes, vitamins and minerals and it will keep for months and (sometimes) even years. To keep things into the raw department, you must not go over 104 °F / 40 °C, which is considered the highest point of ”cooking” when it comes to raw food.

The P200 dehydrator from Froothie also comes with an instruction manual, 2 mesh tray inserts (perfect for smaller pieces of food), 2 flexible non-stick tray inserts (perfect for making fruit leathers, crackers, pancakes, etc.) and a custom made cleaning brush. The trays are BPA free and can be cleaned and washed afterwards by hand or in the dishwasher. In the user’s manual you will find extremely helpful information about drying times and other useful details about the dehydrating process.

I would say that there are endless possibilities when it comes to using this dehydrator and after seeing all the yummy things it can do, we quickly became close friends :)

If you want to know more about it or even consider buying one, just visit Froothie’s website! They also have some other amazing appliances, like my Optimum 9200A blender, a super powerful beauty that makes my life so much easier!

And here is the method I’ve used to make Sun-dried tomato chips with sea salt, cashew and herbs, a healthy and amazing recipe that I’m sure you will love!
