Description
This homemade Strawberry Mango Fruit Leather only requires 4 ingredients and is the perfect snack for school lunches! These fresh, whole food fruit rollups are easily made with real strawberries and mango, dried in the dehydrator (or optionally the oven).
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup mango, fresh or frozen (I used frozen)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries, trim the tops off and place into a blender. Add the mango, lemon juice and maple syup and blend until smooth.
Pour the pureé onto a silicon mat-lined baking sheet (see notes). Spread the mixture as evenly as possible, gently tapping the tray on the counter can help to even out the mixture.
Dehydrate at 167 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hours**, checking on them to make sure you don’t overcook it (it’ll be too crispy to roll). You’ll know they are done when you touch them and it’s no longer sticky.
Slice them into strips and roll them up! You can roll them with parchment paper so they don’t get stuck if you’d like. Store in an airtight container on your counter for up to a week (if you place them in the fridge they get hard).
Notes
READ THE BLOG POST FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TIPS!
I used a silicone baking sheet that came with my Denali Dehydrator (sponsored), if yours doesn’t have one, use a small 12 x 10 in baking sheet/mat. Mine was pretty thick, so a little larger would be ok too.
You could also make this fruit leather in the oven, just bake at 170 degrees F for at least 6 hours, adding more time as needed. You’ll know they are done when you touch them and it’s no longer sticky.
Cook time can vary depending on your dehydrator/oven. I would say start with 4 hours and then check on it every hour thereafter.
