Ingredients
Four golden kiwis that are ripe
One tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
One spoonful of honey (optional; adds sweetness)
A pinch of sea salt (Optional)
Directions
- Set the oven’s temperature to 175°F (80°C). In order to gradually dehydrate the kiwis without cooking them, this low temperature is essential.
- Use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the golden kiwis. Each kiwi should be cut into thin slices that are 1/8 inch thick.
- Put the kiwi slices, lemon juice, and honey (if using) in a mixing bowl. Gently toss to evenly coat the slices.
- Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Avoid overlapping and arrange the kiwi slices in a single layer.
- Top the kiwi slices with a pinch of sea salt, if you’d like.
- Put a baking sheet in the oven that has been preheated. For even drying, bake for about two hours, turning halfway through.
- After the kiwi chips are done, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool fully on a baking sheet.

Serving Suggestions for Crispy Golden Kiwi Chips
Enjoy these kiwi chips on their own as a light snack, or pair them with yogurt, granola, or a cheese platter for a sweet and savory combo. They’re also a great addition to trail mix or as a topping for oatmeal and smoothie bowls. For a fun presentation, serve them in a bowl at your next gathering—they’re sure to be a hit!
Store the cooled kiwi chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week. If they lose their crispiness, you can re-crisp them in the oven at 200°F (95°C) for about 10 minutes. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as they can become soft.
FAQs
Q: Can I use green kiwis instead of golden kiwis?
A: Yes, but green kiwis are more tart, so the flavor will be slightly different. Golden kiwis are sweeter and less acidic.
A: It’s up to you! The skin is edible and adds extra fiber, but you can peel them if you prefer a smoother texture.
Q: Why are my kiwi chips not crispy?
A: Make sure the slices are thin and evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Also, ensure your oven is at the right temperature and bake them long enough to dry out.
Q: Can I use a dehydrator instead of an oven?
A: Absolutely! Use a dehydrator at 135°F (57°C) for 6-8 hours or until crispy.
A: Yes! They’re a great way to get kids to enjoy fruit in a fun, crunchy form.
