Have you ever wanted a sweet snack that’s healthy and easy to make? I sure have. That’s why I love making Homemade Dried Strawberries. They’re easy to make, taste great, and are perfect for snacking anytime. Plus, when you make them at home, you don’t have to worry about the extra sugars and preservatives that are often in store-bought ones.
Start by washing your strawberries thoroughly under cool water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Once dry, remove the green tops and slice the strawberries evenly. Thinner slices will dry faster and more evenly.
Place the strawberry slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Make sure they’re not overlapping so they dry evenly.
Follow the instructions and set your dehydrator to 70 Celsius or 160 Fahrenheit for 7 to 8 hours, depending on your dehydrator type. Close the lid and start dehydrating.
Notes
Choose ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavor. Overripe strawberries can become mushy and won’t dry as well.
Slice the strawberries evenly so they dry at the same rate.
Store your dried strawberries in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.
