Use JSON.parse()

console.log(JSON.parse('[{"id":6,"name":"r6","preparation_time":"123","servings":4,"background_media_file":"recipe_background_image","font_color":"#000000","created_at":"2020-09-11 09:27:02","updated_at":"2020-09-11 09:27:02"},{"id":5,"name":"r5","preparation_time":"21","servings":4,"background_media_file":"recipe_background_image","font_color":"#000000","created_at":"2020-09-11 09:26:28","updated_at":"2020-09-11 09:26:28"}]'))

The given string is in json format. By using JSON.parse().

$arr = JSON.parse('[{"id":6,"name":"r6","preparation_time":"123","servings":4,"background_media_file":"recipe_background_image","font_color":"#000000","created_at":"2020-09-11 09:27:02","updated_at":"2020-09-11 09:27:02"},{"id":5,"name":"r5","preparation_time":"21","servings":4,"background_media_file":"recipe_background_image","font_color":"#000000","created_at":"2020-09-11 09:26:28","updated_at":"2020-09-11 09:26:28"}]');
console.log($arr);
