We have a new food dehydrator. Can we dehydrate avocados? I'm not finding a lot of recipes on avocados.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I cant even begin to imagine that.It might be good though.
 
I think they probably have too high of an oil content to dehydrate successfully. The only way I know of to preserve avocados is by freezing, and even then they do best if pureed first.
 
Fresh avocados are so delicate fresh that I wouldn't think they would lend well to dehydrating. Once exposed to air they would turn into brown mushy lumps and never truly 'dry'.
 
I've check all my dehydrating books. What can or can't be dehydrated.
None of them listed avocado's.

You could try a batch of pureed with lemon juice. Dehydrate it that way. But it comes down to the final product and how you want it to be used in the future. It might be brittle in the end, not sure about that.

Good luck.
 
You may be able to try to puree them and spread them on the fruit roll up tray that usually comes with dehydrators. I think Florida Avos would look better as they do not brown at the same rate but haas do taste better.
