1 pound fresh blueberries

Instructions

Air Fryer

Wash and dry blueberries.
Preheat air fryer to 180 degrees F. If your air fryer only goes down to 200 degrees, preheat to 200.
Remove the basket from the air fryer. Add a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the base.
Add the blueberries in an even single layer and air fry for 6 to 8 hours, or until completely dried, shaking occasionally.
When the blueberries are fully dehydrated, remove from the air fryer basket and serve or store for later use.

Oven

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place berries in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
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

Place blueberries on the trays of your dehydrator in an even layer. Close the dehydrator doors.
Dehydrate the strawberries at 115 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 24 hours, or until fully dried.

Notes

General

Air fryers can vary in size and temperature, so be sure to check your strawberries early.
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.
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

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.
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.
