Clean the strawberries and cut off the tops. Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
Line the dehydrator trays with mesh screens and lay out the strawberry slices so they are not touching.
Stack the dehydrator trays and put on the lid, setting the heat to 135 degrees (they can be dehydrated at temperatures between 135 and 160 degrees, depending on the temperature range of your dehydrator).
Dehydrate for 2-3 hours, flipping strawberries over and rotating the trays a couple of times.
The strawberries are ready when they are no longer spongy and do not feel sticky to the touch.
Allow to cool and then store in an airtight container or zip top bag until ready for use. Enjoy!
Notes
To dehydrate in the oven, set the rack in the middle and preheat to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Prepare strawberries as directed above but instead, lay strawberries out on the baking sheet. Do not allow them to touch. Bake at 170-175 degrees F, flipping occasionally, until the strawberries are no longer spongy or sticky. This process requires more supervision and a little more time but it can be done!
