FAQs
Can I air fry whole strawberries instead of sliced?
Slicing the strawberries allows them to cook evenly and become crispier. Whole strawberries may cook unevenly and remain mushy inside.
What temperature should I use for air frying strawberries?
180°F (82°C) is ideal to gently dehydrate and crisp the strawberries without burning or drying them out too quickly.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries evenly to ensure consistent cooking. If the strawberries are very juicy, pat them dry to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crisp texture.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the strawberry slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are evenly spaced to allow hot air to circulate freely. Lightly coat the slices with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- First air fry session: Air fry the strawberry slices at 180°F for 15 minutes. This initial low-temperature cooking helps to gently remove moisture from the strawberries without burning them.
- Flip and continue air frying: After 15 minutes, flip the strawberry slices to ensure even cooking on all sides. Air fry for an additional 25 minutes at 180°F until the strawberries develop a crisp texture.
- Repeat if necessary and serve: If you have more strawberries remaining, repeat the cooking process with the next batch. Once all are cooked, serve immediately and enjoy your lightly crisped air fryer strawberries as a nutritious snack or dessert topping.
Notes
- If your strawberries are particularly juicy, pat them dry before cooking to eliminate excess moisture for better crisping.
- Make sure to space the strawberry slices evenly to allow proper air circulation in the air fryer.
- Adjust air frying time slightly depending on your air fryer model and size of strawberry slices.
- These air fried strawberries are best served fresh to maintain their texture.
