Print Recipe

A simple and nostalgic recipe for chewy, sweet fruit roll-ups made from fresh strawberry puree, perfect for a healthy snack without preservatives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, hulled and washed
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper for lining the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C) or the lowest possible setting.
  2. Hull and wash about 4 cups (600g) of ripe strawberries and place them in a food processor or blender.
  3. Blend the strawberries until smooth with no large chunks. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for extra smoothness.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  5. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Spread the strawberry puree evenly into a thin layer about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a rubber spatula.
  7. Bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, checking after 2 hours to ensure edges are lifting and the center is dry but pliable.
  8. Allow the fruit leather to cool completely at room temperature for 30 minutes, then carefully peel from the parchment.
  9. Cut into strips about 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide and roll them up with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  10. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

If your oven runs hot, monitor closely during the last 30 minutes to avoid crispy edges. For watery strawberries, simmer puree briefly on stove to thicken before baking. Store rolls in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Wrapping strips individually in parchment paper prevents sticking.
