Description
Whip up these fun and healthy homemade fruit roll-ups using real fruit! They’re a delightful, all-natural snack perfect for kids and adults, made easily in your oven or dehydrator.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pureed fruit (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, peaches, or a mix)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (around 170°F or 75°C) or prepare your dehydrator according to its instructions.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, combine your pureed fruit with honey or maple syrup and lemon juice, if using. Stir well.
- Pour the fruit mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven or dehydrate until the fruit leather is no longer sticky to the touch and peels easily from the parchment paper. This can take 4-8 hours depending on your oven/dehydrator and the thickness of the layer.
- Once dried, carefully peel the fruit leather off the parchment paper.
- Cut the fruit leather into strips or fun shapes.
- Roll up the strips to create your homemade fruit roll-ups.
Notes
- Ensure your fruit puree is smooth. You can achieve this by blending fresh or frozen fruit in a blender or food processor.
- For a tangier flavor, use fruits like raspberries or cranberries.
- If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use a silicone baking mat.
- Store your fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
