Hey, let me know how the artichoke turns out. I once tried dehydrating some eggplant marianated in olive oil and lemon juice. Not a pretty sight! It was so oily and chewy and made a huge mess of my dehydrater. Maybe I'll try it again without the oil because I really love eggplant. Awwww fresh baked eggplant......mmmmmm....yuummmy.......
