Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to the lowest temperature setting, ideally around 180°F (80°C), to prepare it for dehydrating the strawberries gently.
- Arrange strawberries: Place the hulled and chopped strawberries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even drying.
- Air fry and dehydrate: Cook the strawberries in the air fryer for 2 to 3 hours, checking every 30 minutes to monitor their dryness and prevent burning. The strawberries should be dried but still retain some pliability.
- Cool and store: Allow the dried strawberries to cool completely after cooking. Store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are cut into uniform sizes to promote even drying.
- Check frequently to avoid overdrying or burning.
- Store in a cool, dry place to keep dried strawberries fresh longer.
- This method preserves natural flavors without adding sugar or preservatives.
- Use these dried strawberries as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or as a healthy snack on their own.
