How to Prepare Berry Fruit Leather [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 175°F, and line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat. Parchment paper can also work, but it must lie completely flat on your baking sheet. Alternatively, if you’re in a warm climate, you can dry this fruit leather in the sun for several days.
In a high-speed blender, combine the fruit, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using), and blend until smooth.
Pour onto the prepared baking sheet, and using a flat spatula, spread out into a rectangle around 1/8 inch thick. Ensure the edges are thicker than the center because they will dry faster.
Bake for 2 1/2 hours and then rotate the baking sheet. Bake for another 2 hours and check the consistency—the water content of the fruit. The fruit leather is ready when it effortlessly lifts off the reusable baking mat or parchment paper. If it is dry around the edges, you can rehydrate those areas with a clean, wet cloth. The fruit leather is ready when you touch it with your fingers and it does not stick.
Remove from the oven, slice into six to ten equal strips, and roll with parchment or waxed paper for a homemade fruit-roll-up experience.
