Add the vegetable slices;** cook for 30 seconds. Drain vegetable slices in a colander set in a sink. Rinse with cold water and drain again. Pat vegetable slices dry with paper towels. In a large bowl combine vegetable slices and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on mesh-lined dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 135°F for 8 to 10 hours or until dry and crisp,*** shifting trays as necessary to dry chips evenly. (Timings may vary depending on the air humidity and the amount of moisture in the vegetables.) If desired, sprinkle with additional salt. *Tip: Use a mandoline to slice vegetables evenly. **Tip: If using beets, precook beet slices separately to prevent the red color of the beets from "bleeding" on to the other vegetables. ***Tip: When done, the chips will look evenly dry, the edges will have curled, and the chips will be crisp. Remove a chip or two and let cool a few minutes. Taste for crispness. Keep drying if chips are not crisp.
