Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh Kiwis Choose ripe, firm kiwis
Optional Pre-treatment
- 1 cup Water For soaking kiwi slices
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice To help maintain vibrant color
Instructions
Preparation
- Select ripe firm kiwis for the best flavor.
- Wash the kiwis under running water and peel with a knife or vegetable peeler.
- Slice the kiwis into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
- If desired, soak the slices in a mixture of water and lemon juice for about 10 minutes.
Drying
- Using a dehydrator, place the slices on trays without overlapping. Set the temperature to 135°F and dry for 6-8 hours.
- Alternatively, preheat your oven to the lowest setting (around 150°F). Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 6-8 hours, flipping halfway through.
Storage
- Once dried, allow the slices to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Notes
For best quality, store in glass jars or vacuum-sealed bags in a cool, dark place. Dried kiwi slices can last up to a year when stored properly.
