If you dehydrate the veggies you have that are extra or might not get used in time before they go bad, you can put the dried bits in a food processor or similar gadget and powder them! Keep the powder in a mason jar in the pantry and sprinkle it in boiling water for veggie broth, or put it in your soups, stews,casseroles, or anywhere else you might want to sneak some veggies in without your kids knowing ")
Think of extra bits of onion, celery, carrots, etc.
Nothing need go to waste and you are getting health benefits besides.

No problem-
I have a question though...
has anyone ever dehydrated pureed pumpkin? We watched an 1800's Thanksgiving show years ago hosted by Al Roaker, and in one part, they showed how to dehydrate the pumpkin puree and then reconstitute it in a bowl of milk for making pie.
I'd like to try it, but wonder about how long it will actually take to dry the pumpkin into dry sheets.
Anyone tried anything like that?

I don't know if you can really get it any drier than say fruit leather. If that's what you're after, you might want to try it using the directions for fruit leather.
