Print Recipe

A simple and wholesome recipe for homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups using real ingredients, perfect for snacks and lunchboxes. These chewy, naturally sweet treats are easy to make and free from artificial additives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (about 600 grams)
  • 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey (30–45 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, 5 grams)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries by rinsing and hulling fresh ones or thawing and draining frozen ones (about 10 minutes).
  2. Puree the strawberries in a food processor or blender with sugar (or honey) and lemon juice until smooth and thick. If too watery, add cornstarch or arrowroot powder and pulse briefly (about 5 minutes).
  3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the strawberry puree evenly to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness using an offset spatula (about 10 minutes).
  4. Dry the puree in an oven preheated to 140°F (60°C) with the door slightly ajar or in a dehydrator tray for 1.5 to 2 hours until dry to the touch but still pliable. Check after 90 minutes and continue drying if needed.
  5. Peel the dried fruit leather from the parchment paper and cut into strips or desired shapes. Roll up with parchment or plastic wrap to prevent sticking (about 5 minutes).

Notes

Keep the oven door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape when drying in the oven. Spread puree evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness for best texture. Wrap roll-ups individually to prevent sticking. Adjust sweetener to taste or omit if strawberries are very sweet. Use cornstarch or arrowroot powder if puree is too watery. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 3 months.
