Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F / 76 degrees C. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend together all ingredients until smooth.
In a saucepan on medium-low heat, add fruit and veggie mixture. Cook for 10 minutes to reduce slightly, stirring occasionally.
Pour onto the prepared sheet pan. Spread as thinly and evenly as possible into a rectangle with a spatula.
Bake for 4-5 hours or until the fruit is no longer sticky when you touch it.
Let cool completely and then cut into strips. Roll up the strips. Store in an enclosed container.
Notes
You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave.
You can use any fruit and veggie combination that appeals to you, but note that more starchy fruits and veggies (banana, sweet potato, carrots, etc.) will take a bit longer to dry out. You need 2½ cups of fruit and ½ cup of veggies.
For an alternative, try this recipe with strawberries and blueberries as the fruit and boiled or steamed broccoli as the vegetable. I suggest using 2 Tbs. of maple syrup and baking for 4 hours to dry out the mixture.
This dish is intended to be served as a snack, side or dessert.
