Preparation
Step 1
Air Drying Method
Step 2
Place clean whole figs onto skewers or a wire rack, then place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a warm, dry location for 24-48 hours, or until sufficiently dry.
Step 3
Dehydrator Method
Step 4
Place sliced or whole figs onto the dehydration rack of a food dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F for 12 hours or until dry.
Step 5
Oven Method
Step 6
Place clean whole figs onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 200°F for 2-3 hours or until dry.
Step 7
Air Fryer Method
Step 8
If your air fryer has a dehydrator function, you can use that following the instructions above in the dehydrator method. Otherwise, you place a single layer of whole or sliced figs into an air fryer basket and air fry at 380°F for 8 minutes or until dry.
Step 9
Microwave Method
Step 10
Place sliced figs onto a paper towel or dish towel-lined microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high in two-minute increments, until the figs are dry (I find it usually takes about 5 minutes total).
