These homemade dried raspberry chips are crisp, naturally sweet, and full of flavor. They are easy to enjoy on their own or to add a fruity touch to your favorite dishes. Carefully dried to keep their vibrant color and fresh taste, they make a simple and tasty snack.
Choose fresh raspberries free from damage, wash thoroughly, and dry completely on a towel; you may soak them in a vinegar-water mix first, but ensure they’re fully dry before dehydrating.
Preheat the dehydrator to 70°Celsius (160°Fahrenheit) and prepare clean trays to hold the raspberries evenly for consistent drying.
Arrange raspberries on the trays and dry for 10–12 hours, rotating trays every 2–3 hours; slice them in half for faster drying, and test one to ensure it’s fully dry inside before storing.

Notes
Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and texture when making dried chips.
A dehydrator is the most effective tool for drying raspberries, but you can also use your oven at a low temperature.
This recipe will give you 1 cup of dehydrated raspberries and 3 Tablespoons of raspberry powder.
For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice before drying.
Dried raspberry chips can be a great addition to trail mix, yogurt, or simply enjoyed on their own as a snack.
