This easy homemade fruit roll-ups recipe uses just three simple ingredients to create soft, chewy, and naturally sweet fruit leather that’s perfect for kids and nostalgic snack lovers alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh fruit (about 450 grams) – strawberries, mangoes, or peaches
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 140°F (60°C). If your oven doesn’t go this low, set it to the lowest setting and prop the door open slightly with a wooden spoon to let moisture escape.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Wash and chop your fruit, removing stems and pits. Rough chop to help the blender along.
  4. Place the chopped fruit, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice into your blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
  5. Pour the fruit puree onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
  6. Bake in the oven for 4 to 6 hours. Check after 4 hours; when edges start to peel away and the surface feels tacky but not wet, it’s ready.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Cut into strips using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Peel the parchment paper off each strip and roll the fruit leather tightly.

Notes

If bubbles form during baking, gently poke them with a toothpick to release moisture. Spread puree evenly and thinly for consistent drying. Store roll-ups individually wrapped in parchment paper in an airtight container to prevent sticking. Use a dehydrator at 135°F (57°C) for 6 to 8 hours as an alternative to oven drying.
