Cherry Banana Fruit Roll-Ups

Jump to Recipe Pin

This easy homemade Cherry Banana Fruit Roll-Ups is a healthy snack. Made in a dehydrator to keep the nutrients.

I thought I'd put my dehydrator to good use by making some Cherry Banana Fruit Roll-Ups. They are an easy and healthy snack.

I love to carry a snack or two in my purse (affiliate link) because I never know when hunger will strike. I like to eat small meals and snacks throughout the day.

These are the perfect portable snack. They're slightly sticky but nothing a little licking of the fingers can't take care of.

What's great about these homemade fruit roll-ups is they are all natural and sugar-free. There are brands that have corn syrup, sugar, or both in their fruit roll-ups.

They also have some weird ingredients that I can't pronounce. No, thank you.

When I was an elementary school teacher I saw firsthand how much kids love fruit roll-ups. Kids would bring them in their lunches or for a snack.

These dehydrator fruit roll-ups are a snack you can feel good serving your kiddos! Other fruit roll-up recipes to try are my Tropical Fruit Roll-Ups recipe and my Strawberry Kombucha Scoby Fruit Roll-Ups.

💭 Tips

You can use fresh or frozen fruit. I used frozen because that's what I had on hand.
The mixture should be spread about ⅛" to ¼" thick. If it's spread too thin it will crack in spots.
Dehydrate at 110°. Any higher than 118° and you start to lose enzymes and nutrients.
Check on fruit leather after eight hours. I had mine going for about 12 hours because I started it in the evening and checked on it when I woke up.
The fruit leather is done when it's dry to the touch.
Use a butter knife to lift the fruit leather off of the Teflon sheet. It should peel off easily.
Slice with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Cut parchment paper the same size to roll the fruit leather in. This isn't necessary but can prevent them from sticking together.
