Furthermore, these homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups are a great alternative to the store-bought ones, with no additives and just 2 ingredients.

FRUIT ROLL-UPS FLAVORING

Although these homemade strawberry fruit roll-ups are made with real fruit and natural ingredients, you might also want to add more flavors or sweeter. For this recipe I prepared a fruit puree with a food processor or blender and the strawberries I used had the right amount of flavor and sweetness for our taste; therefore, this is an added sugar-free recipe. However, if you want to add more ingredients, check the ideas on the list below.

Maple syrup.
Agave.
Corn syrup.
Lime juice.

FRUIT ROLL-UPS TIPS:

Equipment: you can use a baking sheet or a baking tray with parchment paper. Furthermore, you can also use a silicone mat. Using parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat will help remove the homemade fruit roll-ups from the baking sheet. Although both of them are good options, the silicone mat doesn’t have folds so it may be easier to spread the fruit roll-ups mixture.
Oven: the temperature of the oven has to be low, around 170 degrees f (less than 100 c). If this is not possible, you may need to leave the oven door open to lower the temperature. Also, if you are preparing this fruit leather recipe with kids be aware of this as a possible hazard.
Baking: place the baking sheet with the parchment paper in the center of the oven and let the homemade fruit roll-ups dry up. Baking times can also vary depending on the oven you are using, I used an electric fan-assisted oven.
Cutting your fruit roll-ups: once your homemade fruit roll-ups are done let them cool completely at room temperature. Then, you can cut them on a cutting board with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Also, you can try with scissors if you used parchment paper.
Storage: you can store this homemade fruit roll-ups recipe in an airtight container or a plastic wrap for around 2 weeks.
