Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 medium strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to its lowest temperature setting. This setting varies by model, so refer to your air fryer manual to choose the lowest possible temperature to gently dry the fruit without cooking it.
  2. Slice the Strawberries: Slice the 12 medium strawberries uniformly to ensure even drying. Consistent thickness helps all pieces dry at the same rate and results in a better texture.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the sliced strawberries onto a rack or basket that fits inside your air fryer. Spread them in a single layer to allow airflow and prevent sticking.
  4. Air Fry - First Phase: Air fry the strawberries at the preheated low temperature for 30 minutes. This initial drying phase reduces moisture and begins the dehydration process.
  5. Flip the Strawberries: After 30 minutes, carefully flip each strawberry slice to promote even drying on both sides.
  6. Air Fry - Second Phase: Continue air frying for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the strawberries are completely dried to your desired level of crispness.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are sliced evenly to prevent uneven drying.
  • Air fryer temperatures and drying times may vary based on model and strawberry size; adjust accordingly.
  • Store dried strawberries in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • This method does not use added sugar, making it a healthy fruit snack option.
