How to Dehydrate Strawberries
Dehydrated strawberries are delightful little snacks that offer endless possibilities. They can be enjoyed in trail mix, granola, and oatmeal, infused in tea or water, incorporated into baked goods and energy bars, or even used as a salad topper. The options are truly limitless.
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced (about 8-10 whole)
Instructions
- 1. Slice strawberries into congruent slices; ideally about 1/4″ thick
- 2. Optional: lightly coat or spray the strawberries with lemon juice or an ascorbic acid based product
- 3. Arrange on a mesh lined dehydrating tray with enough room for air to circulate between the pieces (no over lapping)
- 4. Place in dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F for 8-10 hours (for 1/4" thick)
Notes
- You can use frozen strawberries, however, fresh strawberries are highly recommended for the best texture and flavour
- A mesh liner is recommended for strawberries - especially if doing small chunks (otherwise they may fall through the trays)
- Dehydrating times may vary (the water content and thickness of the strawberries, as well as the humidity and altitude of where you live in impact the time)
