Little Grazers Homemade Papaya Fruit Roll Ups - gluten free, dairy free, finger foods, baby led weaning, fussy eaters, kids meal

Every time I go to the grocery store, my kids always ask for some fruit roll ups, I guess they have seen them at school, but I am reluctant to give them, due to the high sugar content.

I sometimes buy healthier versions from Target or the President’s Choice range in Canada.

I had a huge papaya that I had bought. Half of it was cubed up and my kids ate it as a snack.

But I had the idea to use the other half to try and make some homemade fruit roll ups.

Just 3 ingredients, and then baked in the oven  for 4-5 hours at a low temp, these worked perfectly.

Once cooled, I placed onto parchment paper (or you can use wax paper) cut in strips with some kitchen scissors and then rolled up and tied with a piece of string.

The kids love them and they were a great size for their yumbox lunch boxes
