Fruit Roll-Up Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries, frozen (thawed) or fresh
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the lowest setting, ideally between 140 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Blend until you achieve a completely smooth puree with no lumps.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the smooth strawberry mixture onto the parchment-lined sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness for consistent drying.
- Dry in Oven: Place the pan in the preheated oven and let the mixture dry for 4 to 6 hours. The drying time depends on your oven’s precise temperature. The fruit roll-up is ready when it is no longer tacky to the touch in the center.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the fruit roll-up to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel it off the parchment paper. Trim the edges with clean scissors or a pizza cutter, then cut into 1-inch wide strips for easy serving.
- Enjoy: Your homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups are now ready to enjoy as a healthy snack or pack in lunchboxes.
Notes
- The drying time can vary depending on your oven’s temperature and humidity; check the fruit roll-ups periodically.
- You can use fresh or thawed frozen strawberries according to what you have on hand.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly option.
- Store the fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate to extend shelf life.
- If your oven doesn’t go as low as 140°F, use the lowest possible setting to avoid cooking the fruit rather than drying it.
