There’s something special about preserving strawberries. Whether you’re using homegrown berries or a carton from the market, this recipe will show you how to make dried strawberry slices in a dehydrator.
These little gems are great for snacking, adding to oatmeal or yogurt, folding into baked goods, or even grinding into powder for smoothies and frosting. Once dried, they’ll last up to a year in airtight jars.
Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly. Hull the tops.
Slice evenly into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick slices. A mandoline slicer can help keep the slices uniform for even drying.

Set your dehydrator to 135°F. Dry for 6 to 10 hours, until slices are leathery or crisp and no moisture remains.
Cool completely, then store in an airtight container, glass jar, or vacuum sealed bag.
✅ Storage: Keep in airtight jars in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months.
🍓 Uses: Snacking, granola, trail mix, oatmeal, yogurt, baking, smoothies, or powdered as a natural flavoring.
