Strawberry Chips
Strawberry chips are crispy, intensely aromatic fruit slices gently dried in a dehydrator. Drying concentrates the natural flavors and fruit sugars of the strawberries, resulting in an irresistibly sweet snack. They are ideal as a granola ingredient, baking decoration, or healthy treat.

Instructions
Preparation
20 min.Thoroughly wash strawberries, pat dry, and remove stems. Slice into uniform 4-5 mm rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Drizzle with lemon juice.
Optional Marinating
15 min.For a more intense flavor, optionally toss the slices with fine sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar and let rest for 15 minutes. Then drain on paper towels.
Drying
8-12 hrs.Place strawberry slices in a single layer without overlapping on dehydrator trays. Dry at 55-60 °C. Carefully flip after approximately 5 hours. Chips are done when completely dry and crispy.
Cooling and Storage
30 min. cooling timeCool chips completely on a wire rack – they crisp up further as they cool. Store in an airtight container with a silica gel packet at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
Pro Tip
Firm, slightly underripe strawberries yield the best results. Very ripe berries contain more water and take significantly longer. For extra-crispy chips, reduce the thickness to 3 mm.
