Oven Dried Strawberries

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F / 90 degrees C.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone baking mat)

Step 2

Slice strawberries into uniform slices, approximately 1/8 inch thick.  Note: if you slice the strawberries thicker, it will take longer for them to dry

Step 3

Arrange strawberries on parchment paper, leaving space between each slice

Step 4

Bake at 200 degrees F / 90 degrees C for approximately 2 hours, until the tops of the strawberries are dry

Step 5

Peel the strawberry slices from the parchment paper and flip over.  Continue to bake for another 30 minutes to an hour until fully dehydrated

Step 6

Remove the dried strawberries from the oven and allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. The dried strawberries can be stored for several months at room temperature without spoiling
