Dehydrated Strawberry Chips
Dehydrated strawberry chips are a simple fruit snack with the concentrated sweetness of fresh strawberries. Great for kids of all ages! You can make this dried strawberry recipe in a dehydrator or your oven.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries 450 grams, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into quarter inch slices.
- Optional: mix the lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of water and dip the strawberry slices into the solution.
- Lay the strawberry slices on a rack or on baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats. They can be touching but do not overlap the slices.
- Dehydrate in the oven at 175°F for about 4 hours or until they are the desired consistency. I would recommend turning them over about halfway through, especially if you are drying on baking sheets.
- Cool and then store in an air-free container at cool room temperature.
Notes
- Check out the post for a quick and easy way to hull strawberries. Then slice them into quarter-inch slices, as evenly as possible to ensure even drying.
- Using lemon juice when dehydrating strawberry chips is optional because it is primarily used to prevent browning. It may also have anti-microbial properties that will extend the life of your strawberry chips if you do not intend to eat or use them immediately.
