Onion Chips

Contributed By: Adventures in Freeze Drying

This recipe will make as many trays as you choose to make

Directions:

1. Prepare the onions – Peel the onions and slice them into 1 to 1½-inch strips.
2. Arrange on trays – Stack the slices on your trays as needed; they won’t stick to each other or the tray.
3. Freezing option – You can either pre-freeze the onions or place them directly into the freeze dryer.
4. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 16 hours)
5. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

Rehydration:

Not intended

Notes:

Make sure you are using a variety of onion that you like plain before freeze drying, the flavor intensifies. Think Funyuns without all the preservatives.
