Can I use frozen dragon fruit?

Absolutely, Just thaw completely and pat super dry before slicing. The color might be slightly less vibrant, but they'll still crisp up beautifully.

How long do they stay crisp?

Stored properly in an airtight container, they'll keep their perfect crunch for about a month. Mine never last that long though - I snack on them straight from the jar.

Why are mine chewy instead of crisp?

Two likely culprits - either your oven temp was too high (low and slow wins here), or you didn't dry them long enough. Next time, do the snap test.

Can I make these in a dehydrator?

Of course, Set it to 135°F and check after 6 hours. The lower temp preserves even more of that gorgeous color.
