Print Recipe

A quick and healthy recipe for homemade fruit roll-ups using fresh fruit and natural sweeteners, perfect for a fresh snack anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh fruit, chopped (strawberries, mango, or berry mix recommended)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C) or the lowest possible setting.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Place the chopped fruit into a blender or food processor. Add honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and dry for 4-6 hours. Check after 4 hours; the edges should lift easily and the surface should feel tacky but not wet. Leave longer if still sticky.
  6. Let the fruit leather cool completely, then peel off and cut into strips.
  7. Roll each strip in parchment paper and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use a low oven temperature to avoid cooking the fruit. Check drying progress after 4 hours and leave longer if needed. Leaving the oven door slightly ajar can help moisture escape. For vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup. Frozen fruit should be thawed and drained before use. Thicker layers take longer to dry and may be chewier. Adding chia seeds can thicken the puree.
