The store bought fruit rolls are loaded with sugar.

I don’t add sugar to my fruit rolls. Most fruits have enough sugar to make these fruit rolls sweet.

Fruit Rolls in The Solar Oven

You can make these in the oven and even in a solar oven. I’ve been experimenting using both types of ovens.

Who knew it is so easy to make these at home. With little effort, I have been making these and the boys are super excited that they get to have these fun, and healthy snacks again!

I love how evenly they cook in the solar oven. I would have to say it’s my preferred method. I can’t wait to try other recipes dehydrating more stuff in the solar oven! Do you know How to Make Fruit Rolls? It is easy lets get started!

Ingredients

8 oz strawberry
2 bananas

Instructions

Puree fruit in a food processor.
Preheat oven to lowest temperature, usually 170º F – if using the Sunflair Solar Oven , you can turn it upside down. This helps to keep a lower temperature for dehydrating!
Cover large baking sheet with parchment paper
Spread pureed fruit onto parchment paper
Make sure to spread evenly, or it will not cook evenly and you will end up with some being well done and some not even close.
If using the Sunflair Solar oven be sure to use the baking rack it elevates the pan to help make sure that there is proper circulation.
Bake for 7-8 hours – this time may vary
You know it is done when there are no more soft spots or gooey fruit. It should all be solid and dry.
Pull it out of the oven and set it aside to cool
Keep the fruit rolls on the parchment paper and use scissors to cut out strips long ways

Notes

These should keep in the fridge for about a week. I have not tried freezing them but I am sure they would probably freeze well. They are so good, we just gobble them up immediately!

  I am not really sure what you mean. A solar oven is cooking with the sun! Solar ovens are great for dehydrating!

  The solar oven would be too hot inside for them, they would burn up. It is an oven a real oven! You have use pot holders to take out a pan just as you would a pan in a regular oven. We have lots of ants here, and they have never been a problem! I even cooked a s’more pie!

This is the first time I’ve seen a solar oven! I think it’s exciting to use something like that, how awesome! I’ve never made fruit rolls before, although I do love the fruit roll-ups candy.

  Awesome, they taste fantastic. I tried to make just strawberry and it turned out not sweet enough. I also did just banana and it was like eating banana paper. Weird. Anyhow, together they are fabulous. The banana lends sweetness and the strawberries lend a good texture!
