A simple and practical recipe for making crispy dehydrated peach chips that preserve the sweet flavor of peaches for long-term storage. Perfect as a healthy, crunchy snack that lasts for months.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 medium fresh peaches (ripe but firm, freestone preferred)
  • 12 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cups water (for lemon bath)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon organic coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly.
  2. Slice peaches thinly about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a sharp knife or mandoline, removing pits.
  3. Prepare lemon bath by mixing lemon juice with water in a large bowl.
  4. Soak peach slices in lemon bath for 5 minutes to prevent browning.
  5. Drain and pat peach slices dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
  6. Optionally, lightly dust slices with cinnamon, ground ginger, or coconut sugar.
  7. Arrange peach slices in a single layer on dehydrator trays without overlapping.
  8. Set dehydrator temperature to 135°F (57°C) and dry for 8-12 hours, flipping slices halfway through.
  9. Check for crispness; chips should snap easily and not be leathery.
  10. Cool chips completely before storing to prevent condensation.
  11. Store chips in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use uniform thin slices about 1/8 inch thick for even drying. Lemon juice bath helps prevent browning and keeps color fresh. Flip slices halfway through drying for even crispness. Store in airtight containers to maintain crunch. Oven drying is possible but requires careful monitoring.
