  "description": "Basically a fruit roll-up but homemade and actually made of fruit. Kids go absolutely feral for these and you get to feel smug about it. Low effort, high reward, very lunchbox-coded.",
  "ingredients": [
    "500g fresh or frozen strawberries",
    "2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup",
    "1 tablespoon lemon juice"
  ],
  "instructions": [
    "Preheat oven to 80°C / 175°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat — do NOT use foil, it will stick.",
    "Add strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice to a blender. Blitz until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.",
    "Pour the puree onto the lined baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer about 3-4mm thick using an offset spatula.",
    "Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the surface is no longer sticky to the touch and peels away from the parchment cleanly.",
    "Let cool completely, then peel off the parchment. Cut into strips with scissors or a pizza cutter.",
    "Roll each strip up in a fresh piece of parchment and twist the ends. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks."
