Ohhh I see what you’re saying. I used a food dehydrator, then added the dried veg to olive oil after. It did not break down in the olive oil (though I see now why you were so adamant here, that does sound super sketch). Regardless after thinking through I think I’m going to try a different approach for the intended outcome. Original intention was to copy what my dads relatives do in Italy: sun dry zucchini in the summer, store in olive oil for winter pasta dish

Well drying it out first is a good step. Botulism needs a certain moisture content. Sun dried vegetables also benefit from UV sterilization. And the sun is really good at that. Either way I believe if done the proper way it's fine, but you need to make absolutely sure that the water content in the zucchini is below the range since you don't have any acid.
