Oven-Dried Strawberries: A Sweet and Chewy Snack

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Strawberries

1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C).
2. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
3. Remove the stems and slice strawberries evenly, about ¼-inch thick.

Step 2: Arrange on a Baking Sheet

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Spread the strawberry slices in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 3: Bake Low and Slow

6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3-4 hours, flipping halfway through.
7. The strawberries are ready when they are dry to the touch but still slightly chew

Step 4: Cool and Store

8. Let the strawberries cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Pro Tips

• Uniform Slices – Ensure even drying by cutting the strawberries to the same thickness.
• For Crispier Strawberries – Extend baking time by 30-60 minutes.
• Enhance Flavor – Sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle with honey before baking.
