Hi Darcy,

It depends on whether you cook the peppers first, and how small you cut them. If you make, say, 1/2 x 1/2 inch pieces, should take 2 days in the dehydrator, but if you steam them first, it might take as little as a day. Or longer but really thin slices, probably about the same amount of time Bigger (thicker) pieces will take longer. Make sure the temperature is not too high (air blowing out should feel comfortably warm, not hot), otherwise the outsides dry too fast and the insides stay damp...

Good luck!
