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 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.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Mix cherries and a banana in a food processor until there are no chunks of fruit.
Step 2: Spread the mixture on a Teflon-lined dehydrator tray. It should be about ⅛" to ¼" thick.
Dehydrate for 8-12 hours.
Step 3: Slice into 1" strips.
💭 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.

Thanks Jerry! I am not sure what the Inspiration Spotlight Party is. If my recipe was shared there, it wasn't by me.
