How to Make Dried Orange Slices

FIRSTDAYOFHOME.COM

There are three methods you can use when drying oranges: oven drying, air drying, or a food dehydrator. Each method has pros and cons.

We prefer the oven-drying method for the ease and consistency. However, it takes several hours to dry the orange slices fully. The air dry method is easiest but can give inconsistent results.

Cut very thin slices

Pat the slices with a paper towel 

Flip the oranges every hour

Use a baking rack to lift the slices off the cookie sheet 

Use the lowest temperature setting
