Oven-Dried Strawberries: A Natural Candy Delight

 

How to Make Oven-Dried Strawberries

Making these delicious treats is incredibly simple. All you need are fresh strawberries and an oven.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 210°F (100°C).

  2. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them evenly to ensure uniform drying.

  3. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap.

  4. Bake for about 3 hours, flipping them halfway through for even dehydration.

  5. Once they’re dry but still slightly chewy, remove them from the oven and let them cool.

  6. Store in an airtight container and enjoy as a healthy snack!

  • Use them in baking for a chewy, sweet addition to cookies or muffins.
