    Here's a snack you can feel good about making for your kids. It has four ingredients, all of which are healthy.

    I got the idea for these Tropical Fruit Roll-Ups when I was re-shooting my Tropical Fruit Sorbet. I decided to leave out the almond milk and turn the recipe into fruit roll-ups.

    What a great idea indeed! This tropical-flavored homemade fruit leather is super fruity and flavorful.

    This healthy snack is perfect for on-the-go. I plan on making a batch for my next road trip. It's nice to have a variety of vegan snacks for a vacation.

    I like to keep a snack or two in my purse because I never know when hunger will strike.

    There have been times when my car has broken down or my errands take longer than expected and I need a snack NOW. Those are the times I'm glad to be prepared with food in tow.

    Other fruit roll-up recipes to try are my Cherry Fruit Leather recipe and my Strawberry Fruit Leather recipe. Another dehydrated recipe to try is my Tamari Crackers recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • They are easy to make.
    • They are fruity and flavorful.

    Step 4: Slice into 1" strips.

    💭 Tips

    • The mixture should be 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.
    • Use a butter knife to lift the fruit leather off of the Teflon sheet. It should peel off easily.
    • Cut parchment paper the same size to roll fruit leather in. This isn't necessary but can prevent them from sticking together.
    • Store in a cool dark location. Tropical Fruit Leather will last up to a month if stored properly.
    • Make a batch of Vegan Tropical Sorbet while you're at it then you get two recipes for the price of one!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What is fruit leather?

    Fruity leather is dried sheets of fruit pulp. For this fruit leather recipe, I mixed fruit in a food processor and dehydrated it on a Teflon-lined dehydrator sheet.

    How long will homemade fruit leather keep?

    This homemade fruit roll-up recipe will last up to a month if stored properly. Store in a cool dark location in an airtight container.

    Why is my fruit leather cracking?

    It is probably because it was dehydrated for too long. Check on it after 8 hours. It should peel off easily from the Teflon sheet.
