Hi Diane,
My favorite way as follows:
Break stem from pepper
Cut in 1/2, leave seeds & veins in
Single layer on dehydrator sheet
Dry at 100  F (if dehydrator has temp control) or low
After 8-12 hours, check Habs, take one out & see if it's like leather
When "leathery" state of dryness reached, put some in a clean, dry jar & cap
Dry rest until crisp, another 12-24 hrs.
Leather Habs for reconstitution, fully dried for grinding into powder

Hope this helps,
Paul

need to know everyone's favorite way of prepping them. Seeds cleaned out or
not? Sliced, diced, jullienned? Whole?
