How to Make Dehydrated Strawberries

Step 1: Wash, dry, and hull the strawberries. Slice each strawberry into thin slices using a sharp knife.

Step 2: Once you have all of your strawberries sliced, place each piece on the dehydrator rack until the entire level is full. Fill all of the levels with your strawberry slices, making sure to leave room around each one so that the air can circulate them.

Step 3: Place the lid on the dehydrator and set it to 135º. It will take anywhere from 6-10 hours for the strawberries to fully dehydrate.

How to Store Dried Fruit

Ensure the fruit has cooled completely before storing. Store them in a sealable container in a cool dark place for a few weeks or freeze them for later for up to 3 months.

How to Dry Strawberries in the Oven

After cleaning and slicing the strawberries, arrange them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake at 200º for 2-4 hours, flipping every hour. Start checking them after 2 hours to see how they are doing. You want them to be slightly rubbery, which will lessen once they cool off.

What to Do with Dehydrated Strawberries

Here are some ideas on how to enjoy dried strawberries:

• Eat them plain for a delicious healthy snack
• Use them as a cocktail garnish
• Cut up into small pieces and put inside baked goods
• Place on top of baked goods
• Add to your favorite sangria
• Use them as a cupcake topper
• Use them to flavor water or iced tea

What Dehydrator I Use

I have a Nesco dehydrator that I use all the time. I’ve had it for quite a few years and it has lasted a long time. I like it because it’s light and easy to clean. The only negative I can think of is that it does take up some space because it’s bulky.

There are quite a few options for dehydrators out there, some are even bigger if you want to dehydrate a ton of food at once. The one shown below is a great beginner option.
