Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh fruit of choice (e.g., strawberries, mango, or mixed berries)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) or the lowest setting if your oven doesn't go that low. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and prepare your fruit. If necessary, peel, core, or remove seeds. Chop the fruit into small pieces for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fruit, honey or maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Pour the fruit puree onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer, about 1/8-inch thick. Make sure it is evenly spread to ensure consistent drying.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let the fruit puree dry for 3-4 hours. Check periodically to avoid over-drying. The fruit roll-up is ready when it is no longer sticky to the touch but still pliable.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the fruit sheet off the parchment paper or silicone mat.
Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut the fruit sheet into strips. Roll each strip up with a small piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Store the fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
