Oven-dried kiwis

First you need to choose the fruit: it must be firm and not too ripe because the more water it contains, the longer it will take to dry it with results that are not always satisfactory. Then peel the kiwis and remove the hard part of the peduncle which usually remains in the pulp.

2

Cut them into slices half a centimeter thick and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

3

Bake at 50°C fan-assisted mode for 4 hours . For uniform drying you can turn the kiwi slices every hour.

Let them cool on a wire rack before transferring them to a glass jar.

Also in this case the recommendation to use firm, not too ripe fruit is valid. If your kiwis are organic, you can also wash them thoroughly to remove the hair well and leave the skin on. Then cut them into slices half a centimeter thick.

2

Place them without overlapping them on the dehydrator trays and set 45°C for 24-48 hours . The time is always indicative because it depends on the quantity of water present in the fruit. In all cases they must be very dry.
