Skip the store-bought snacks in favor of Healthy Homemade Mango Fruit Roll-Ups. They're made with just one ingredient: fruit!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups diced ripe mango (from about 3 large mangoes)
If you don't already have one you'll need a silicone baking mat.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 175ºF and line two rimmed baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper.
- Puree the mango in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Divide the purée evenly between the two prepared pans, and using an off-set spatula, spread the purée as flat and as evenly as possible until it’s about 1/8-inch thick.
- Bake the purée for 3 to 4 hours. (See Kelly’s Notes.) The fruit roll-ups are done when the purée is dry to the touch and pliable. If the bottom side of the roll-ups is still wet after some time, flip the roll-ups over and continue baking them until they are fully dried.
- Remove the roll-ups from the oven. Place a piece of wax paper on top of the roll-ups and then peel off the wax paper and the roll-ups together. Cut the sheet into long strips and then roll up the strips.
NOTES
- The total baking time will vary depending on the exact thickness of your fruit roll-ups and the differing temperatures of ovens.
- The fruit roll-ups will last for up to 1 week when stored in an air-tight container.
- Experiment with other fruits.
Now that you've seen the simplest 1-ingredient way of making them. Here is a 2-ingredients version. What you need is:
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 cups strawberries
Finally, we have a 3-ingredient version. You'll notice each variation tacks on some sweetness from the original. This variation also requires 8-10 minutes of cooking on medium-high heat. What you need is:
- 1 package strawberries (tops cut off)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
