- Optional: mix the lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of water and dip the strawberry slices into the solution.1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Lay the strawberry slices on a rack or on baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats. They can be touching but do not overlap the slices.
- Dehydrate in the oven at 175°F for about 4 hours or until they are the desired consistency. I would recommend turning them over about halfway through, especially if you are drying on baking sheets.
- Cool and then store in an air-free container at cool room temperature.
Notes
Check out the post for a quick and easy way to hull strawberries. Then slice them into quarter-inch slices, as evenly as possible to ensure even drying.
Using lemon juice when dehydrating strawberry chips is optional because it is primarily used to prevent browning. It may also have anti-microbial properties that will extend the life of your strawberry chips if you do not intend to eat or use them immediately.
