Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups are one of my favorite naturally sweet snacks to make at home.

These roll-ups have no refined sugar, no additives, and are a perfect grab-and-go treat for both kids and adults.

Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

I preheat the oven to 175°F (80°C), or the lowest setting possible, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a blender or food processor, I combine the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice, blending until the mixture is completely smooth.

I pour the puree onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin ⅛-inch layer.

Then I bake it for 4 to 6 hours, until the surface is no longer sticky and peels away easily from the parchment.

After letting it cool completely, I cut the sheet into strips and roll them up—either with the parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking.

Variations

I sometimes like to switch things up by mixing in other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or mango for a tropical twist. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract gives a nice flavor boost. If I want a smoother texture, I strain the puree to remove seeds before baking.

Storage/Reheating

I store the finished fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature, where they keep well for up to a week. If I want to save them longer, I pop them in the fridge, where they stay fresh for about two weeks. There’s no need to reheat them—they’re ready to enjoy straight from storage.

FAQs

What if I don’t have parchment paper or a silicone mat?

I recommend using either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat because they make it easy to remove the roll-ups once they’re done. Wax paper is not a good substitute for baking, as it can melt in the oven.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, I can use frozen strawberries—just make sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before blending.

How do I know when the fruit roll-up is done baking?

I check if the surface is no longer sticky to the touch and can peel away cleanly from the parchment. It should feel dry but still pliable.

Can I make these without sweetener?

Absolutely. If the strawberries are super ripe and sweet, I sometimes skip the honey or maple syrup altogether. It still tastes great.

How do I keep the roll-ups from sticking together?

I roll them up with the parchment paper or wax paper they were baked on. This keeps them from sticking and makes them easy to grab and go.

Conclusion

These Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups are a simple, healthy snack that I enjoy making for myself and my family. They’re a great way to use fresh strawberries, and they bring back all the fun of childhood snacks—with none of the processed stuff. Whether I pack them in lunches or keep them for an afternoon treat, they never last long in my kitchen.
