Introduction

These 3-Ingredient Homemade Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups are a simple and delicious way to enjoy a healthy snack. Made with just strawberries, honey, and lemon juice, they capture the fresh taste of summer in a chewy, fruity treat.

Ingredients

• 3 cups strawberries (frozen and thawed, or fresh)
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 140 to 170 degrees F, or the lowest temperature it allows. Line a sheet-pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Step 2: Add the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice to a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the fruit mixture onto the lined sheet-pan. Spread it evenly to about ⅛ to ¼ inch thickness.
4. Step 4: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 4 to 6 hours, depending on your oven temperature. The fruit leather is done when the middle is no longer tacky to the touch.
5. Step 5: Allow the fruit roll-up to cool completely before removing it from the parchment paper.
6. Step 6: Use clean scissors or a pizza cutter to trim the edges and cut the fruit leather into 1-inch wide strips.
7. Step 7: Enjoy your homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups as a tasty and healthy snack!

Tips & Variations

• Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor, or thaw frozen ones overnight in the refrigerator.
• For a tangier flavor, add a little extra lemon juice or replace honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
• If your oven doesn’t get very low, keep a close eye on the fruit leather to avoid burning and adjust baking time accordingly.

Storage

Store the fruit roll-ups in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature. They will keep fresh for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator or freezer, and bring to room temperature before enjoying. No reheating is required.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?

Yes, you can use almost any fruit to make homemade fruit roll-ups. Try mangoes, peaches, or mixed berries for tasty variations. Adjust sweetness and lemon juice to taste.

How thin should I spread the fruit mixture?

Spread the mixture evenly to about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Too thick will increase drying time and may result in a sticky center, while too thin might be brittle once dried.

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.
