Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mix
- 3 cups strawberries, frozen (thawed) or fresh
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare sheet-pan: Preheat your oven to a low temperature between 140°F and 170°F (60°C to 75°C). Line a sheet-pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain, ensuring an even texture for your fruit roll-ups.
- Spread mixture: Pour the blended fruit mixture onto the parchment-lined sheet-pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out to a thin layer approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. This thickness will help the roll-ups dry evenly and achieve the right chewiness.
- Bake: Place the sheet-pan in the preheated oven and bake for 4 to 6 hours. Bake until the fruit leather is no longer tacky in the middle but still pliable, indicating it has dried properly.
- Cool and cut: Remove the sheet-pan from the oven and allow the fruit roll-up to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel it off the parchment paper. Trim the edges for a clean look and cut into 1-inch wide strips for easy rolling and serving.
- Serve: Enjoy your homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups as a nutritious snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe, sweet strawberries.
- Adjust thickness for chewier or softer rolls; thinner spreads dry faster and become more leathery.
- Use low oven temperatures to slowly dry fruit without burning.
- Store roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for longer storage.
- Optionally, you can experiment with other fruits or add spices like cinnamon for flavor variations.
