1 Dehydrator

Ingredients

1 lb strawberries

Instructions

Remove the stem and white part of the strawberries and cut them into uniform-sized pieces measuring 1/4"- 3/8 " thick.

Dehydrator Instructions

Spread strawberry slices on dehydrator trays. Adjust the temperature to 135 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer for 8-12 hours. Dehydrate until desired texture is reached. Let them cool, then store them in an airtight container.

Oven Instructions

For oven-dehydrated strawberries, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to its lowest temperature, about 175 degrees-200 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread strawberry slices in an even layer on this sheet before placing them in the oven.
Bake the slices for 4-6 hours, checking them every hour until desired texture has been reached. Let them cool, then store them in an airtight container.

Air Fryer Instructions

For air-fried strawberries, put the strawberry slices evenly in the basket to dehydrate strawberries in an air fryer. Set the air fryer to 135 degrees Fahrenheit and fry for 4-6 hours on the lowest setting, checking every 30 minutes. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Your strawberries will be ready to dehydrate once they feel leathery and pliable when touched, not wet or sticky. Keep dehydrating until you get the texture you want.
Use fresh, ripe strawberries. Overripe or moldy strawberries should not be used. Properly dehydrated strawberries can be stored for up to 1 year with proper storage.
