Wash thoroughly and pat peppers dry. Any excess moisture will make the dehydrating process take longer.
Trim peppers and cut off any bad spots or longer stems.
Using gloves, carefully chop your peppers to the desired size. Work in batches if doing different sizes and try to keep similarly sized peppers per batch so that they dry in a consistent way.
Carefully place fresh peppers on your dehydrating rack. Every device will look different, my Ninja Foodi uses a rack, while some dehydrators use mats.
Set the device to "dehydrate" if it performs multiple functions and set the temperature to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The time frame can truly take anywhere from 2 hours (for very small pieces) to 12 hours (for whole peppers). Keep this in mind when starting your project! You will know the peppers are dehydrated when they are brittle to the touch.
