Instructions
Dehydrator Version
- Pat the whitebait dry with kitchen paper. Removing excess moisture helps them dry evenly.
- Arrange the fish in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Avoid overlapping.
- Set the dehydrator to 70°C (160°F).
- Dehydrate for 4–7 hours, depending on the size of the fish and your dehydrator model.
- The whitebait are ready when they are fully dry and crispy with no soft spots remaining.
- Allow to cool completely before storing.
Oven Method
- Preheat the oven to its lowest setting, ideally around 80–90°C (175–195°F).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Arrange the whitebait in a single layer.
- Bake for 2–4 hours, turning halfway through if needed.
- To allow moisture to escape, keep the oven door slightly ajar by placing a wooden spoon in the door.
- Once fully dried and crisp, remove and cool completely.
