Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional garnish

Equipment

  • Dehydrator or Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Cut the watermelon into thin, even strips, removing any seeds.
  2. Optionally brush watermelon pieces lightly with coconut oil.
  3. Arrange the watermelon on dehydrator trays or baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  4. Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 8–12 hours in a dehydrator, or 6–10 hours in the oven at lowest temperature.
  5. Check for chewy texture. Remove any pieces that are still moist.
  6. Allow jerky to cool completely.
  7. Store in airtight containers at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Notes

Ensure watermelon slices are thin for even drying. Avoid seeds to prevent choking hazards.
