Choose your favorite Beef Jerky Recipe (May need to cut back on salt).
Hopefully, your recipe contains liquid of some sort. You will need some. Our recipe called for 4c water for Hi Mountain steak jerky marinade.
Peel, deseed, and cut zucchini into chunks. (First time, I did about the size of my thumb, but, will try bigger with next batch. Your choice.)
Bring recipe ingredients to a boil. Add in Zucchini chunks. Lower temp to simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove chunks from liquid and add to dehydrator tray (Yes, some are soggy, still use them!). Dehydrate for 12-18 hours. Once cooled some, place in airtight bag. Enjoy.
