Hey Everybody!

Today’s recipe is one for dried strawberries. They are super easy to make and make a great, healthy snack. Healthy snacks are often hard to find or they go bad very quickly. These are one of my favorite summer snacks. They also work very well to curb your sugar cravings! 

Ingredient

2 lb. Strawberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Prepare a cookie sheet with tinfoil and parchment paper (the tinfoil underneath the parchment paper), using only one will make cleaning up difficult.
3. Cut the strawberries into thin slices (about 1/8 inch) from the tip up to the stem.
4. Place them on the parchment paper side by side, be careful not to push them together as you will be flipping them over halfway through baking them.
5. Place the cookie sheet into the oven for two hours.
6. Remove from the oven and let them sit for about fifteen minutes.
7. Flip them all over and place back in the oven for an additional hour.
8. Let them sit overnight to dry out a little bit more.
9. Place them in a container or enjoy immediately.

I have a few tips about this recipe that I have learned through making them several times. The thinner you can slice the strawberries the better. If your strawberries are starting to go bad in your fridge, they will work perfectly with this recipe. Without the tin foil, the strawberries make the cookie sheet very sticky and difficult to clean. Without the parchment paper, the strawberries stick to the tin foil and you cannot flip them very easily.
