Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Small Watermelon 7 lbs (Cut into Thick Strips) 1 inch x 4 inch
- 2 Limes (Juiced)
- 2 Tbsp Tajin Seasoning
Instructions
- Using a knife, carefully remove the rind. Cut the watermelon into strips approx. 1/2 inch thick by 1.5 inches wide and 4 inches long. Although the strips can be different sizes and that will be fine but they should be roughly the same thickness.
- Place the watermelons strips onto lined dehydrator trays.
- Juice the limes into a small bowl and brush the juice over each strip.
- Sprinkle the Tajin seasoning over each strip. Using as much or as little as you want depending on your spice tolerance.
- Place the trays into the dehydrator on 165° for 12-16 hours. Rotating the strips halfway through.
- Alternatively, this recipe can also be made on wire racks in a 250° oven for 3-5 hours.
- Store leftover jerky in an airtight container or ziplock baggies for up to a month.
Notes
- The jerky may rehydrate slightly if it is not consumed right away. However, it is still edible it will be just more of a fruit roll-up consistency rather than a jerky.
