I don't know if I should post on a month of May original post, but here goes.
I dehydrate strawberries all the time.
My husband and I like the dried strawberries better than fresh. We also dry a lot of bananas and like them better.
For the strawberries we cut 1/4" slices to the same width for drying for each strawberry. We sprinkle lightly with sugar or desired sweetner and dry until slightly crisp.
With bananas as well as strawberries - the flavor is highly enhanced when in cereal. We coat the bottom of the dehydrator trays with oil sprinkled on a napkin so the strawberries and bananas won't stick.
We put nothing on the bananas - once we tried cinnamon but the bananas are so sweet that we use nothing. Bananas take a long time until crisp, but OH so good. Use a banana that has spots.
