How to Dry Fruits in the Oven
Craving a healthy snack? Make your own dry fruits at home and enjoy them in many different ways.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries or any other fruit of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice strawberries into uniform slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick, if you slice the strawberries thicker, it will take longer for them to dry.
- Arrange strawberries on parchment paper, leaving space between each slice.
- Bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 2 hours, until the tops of the strawberries are dry.
- Remove the strawberry slices from the parchment paper and flip them to the other side.
- Continue to bake for another 30 minutes to an hour until fully dried.
- Remove the dried strawberries from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Using an electric oven is helpful.
- Don't use foil or wax paper instead of parchment paper because the strawberries will stick and you will not be able to flip them over.
- You can use a mushroom slicer, if available, it will help with the slices to be more precise.
