Healthy Homemade Fruit Roll Ups (Plus Flavor Options!)
Description
This recipe blends 2 to 3 cups of fresh or canned fruit with sweetener—usually honey—and lemon juice for brightness. The mixture is processed until smooth, then spread thinly on parchment-lined pans. It’s dehydrated in a low-temperature oven or dehydrator for 4 to 6 hours, checking for when the center is no longer tacky but still flexible enough to peel off the paper and roll without cracking.
Fruit options include tropical mixtures like pineapple and mango or forest fruits such as cherries, blueberries, and raspberries for diverse flavors and colors. After cooling, the fruit sheets are trimmed and cut into strips before rolling. The resulting roll ups are convenient snacks, ideal for on-the-go consumption.
The roll ups can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for longer shelf life. Some make-ahead techniques include boiling the mixture briefly to reduce moisture and shorten dehydration time. Draining canned fruit thoroughly improves texture. The snack is versatile and can be made using a dehydrator if available.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups Fruit 300 to 350 g
- 2-3 Tbsp honey can sub sugar or sugar-substitute
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
Instructions
- Blend: Blend together all ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Spread: Pour into a pan lined with parchment paper then spread out ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
- Dehydrate: Dehydrate in oven at 140 to 170°F (or as low as oven will go) for 4 to 6 hours, or until the middle is not longer tacky. It must be totally set in order to peel off the parchment paper, so if it needs more time to cook, keep cooking until the center is not tacky (this largely depends on the thickness).
- Cool: Allow to cool, then use clean scissors to trim off edges and cut into 1 inch wide strips. Roll each strip into a roll-up and enjoy!
Notes
- Store roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months, thawing overnight in the fridge before eating.
- To shorten drying time, boil the blended fruit mixture for 5 to 10 minutes to evaporate excess liquid before dehydrating.
- When using canned fruit, drain thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel to reduce moisture and improve drying quality.
- Try different fruit combinations such as tropical pineapple and mango or forest fruits like cherry, blueberry, and raspberry for varied flavor and color.
- The roll ups are room temperature stable for a day, making them suitable for portable snacks.
