    Why You'll Love This Dish

    This dish is super easy. Add blueberries to a preheated air fryer, shake occasionally, and take them out when they're done. 

    I’ve also included directions for the oven and dehydrator! 

    They are a healthy alternative to traditional desserts. 

    This recipe uses literally only one ingredient to create an incredibly delicious result. The sweetness of the berry is amplified as they are dehydrated, leaving crisp fruit with a concentrated blueberry flavor.

    Finally, air-fried blueberries are a healthy snack or dessert. Blueberries have lots of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants! Check out this article for more information about the health benefits of blueberries.

    • Fresh Blueberries Try to select blueberries with deep purple, almost black color, unbroken skin, and no signs of mold. Avoid overly mushy or overripe berries.

    How to Dehydrate Blueberries in Air Fryer

    Step One: Wash and dry the blueberries.

    Step Two Preheat air fryer to 180 degrees F. If your air fryer only goes down to 200 degrees, preheat to 200.

    Step Three Remove the basket from the air fryer. Add a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the base.

    Parchment paper is shown in the base of an air fryer basket.

    Step Four Add the blueberries in an even single layer and air fry for 6 to 8 hours, shaking the basket occasionally.

    Oven Directions

    Step One Preheat your oven to its lowest temperature.

    Step Two Place the blueberries in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

    Step Three Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook until the blueberries are fully dried, about 15 hours. Check at the 10-hour and 12-hour marks for doneness.  

    Dehydrator Directions

    Step One Place blueberries on the trays of your dehydrator in an even layer. Close the dehydrator doors.

    Step Two Dehydrate the blueberries at 115 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 24 hours, or until fully dried.

    FAQ

    Can you dehydrate frozen blueberries?

     

    Yes! You can follow the same method for frozen blueberries.

    What does air frying do to your fruit?

     

    In this recipe, air frying allows you to dehydrate the fruit. With other preparations, you can develop a baked texture, with a soft interior and lightly crisp exterior.

    What fruits can you air fry?

     

    You can air fry blueberries, strawberries, pears, apples, pineapple... just about anything!

    Expert Tips

    • Air fryers can vary in size and temperature, so be sure to check your blueberries early.
    • Some air fryers will only go to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. In this case, check your blueberries around the 4-hour mark and continue cooking as needed.
    • Work in batches. You won't want to crowd the air fryer, so work in batches to ensure the strawberries are in an even, single layer.

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    Notes

    General
    1. Air fryers can vary in size and temperature, so be sure to check your strawberries early.
    2. Some air fryers will only go to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. In this case, try only cooking them for 45 minutes first, flipping around the 22-minute mark.
    3. Work in batches. You won't want to crowd the air fryer, so work in batches to ensure the strawberries are in an even, single layer.
    Storage
    1. Fridge You can store air fryer strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge, but fully dehydrated berries to not need to be refrigerated. I advise refrigerating if you are not certain if the berries are fully dehydrated.
    2. Freezer To freeze, make sure the fruit is completely dry and cooled. Place in a plastic bag and remove as much air as possible. Seal the bag and place in the freezer for later use.
