Ingredients
- 3 oranges, washed and dried
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). A low temperature ensures the slices dry slowly and evenly.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, serrated knife, or mandoline, slice the oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices even for consistent drying.
- Lay the orange slices on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This helps speed up the drying process.
- Place your rack onto a baking sheet. Arrange the orange slices in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Let the slices dry for 2-3 hours, flipping them occasionally. Check periodically as ovens vary quite a bit. The slices are ready when they are dry and slightly translucent. If they are still soft or sticky, bake a little longer.
- Let the slices cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes
- If you plan to consume your dried orange slices use them within 6 months. For crafting purposes they will last up to 2 years.
- To dry orange slices in a dehydrator
- Prep the oranges: Wash the oranges thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline for even slices.
- Remove excess moisture: Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps speed up the drying process.
- Arrange on dehydrator trays: Place the slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, making sure they don’t overlap. This allows for proper airflow.
- Set dehydrator temperature: Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C), which is ideal for drying fruits.
- Dehydrate: Dry the orange slices for 8-10 hours, depending on the thickness and moisture content. Check periodically for doneness; they should be dry but still slightly pliable, not brittle.
