Dried Orange Slices

Step 1

Slice each orange into roughly 1/4" slices. Try to make them as uniform thickness as possible.

Step 2

Line the dehydrator trays with your slices, making sure not to overlap. Pat each slice with a paper towel soak up excess juice.

Step 3

Allow to dehydrate for roughly 8-12 hours or until translucent. Dehydrators vary, so I recommend checking your oranges at the 8 hour mark and gauge time needed from there. I always check every hour and pull out the finished slices, leaving the rest to finish.

Step 4

Remove from dehydrator and lay in a dry place until cool and completely dry. I usually just plop them on a cookie sheet until I am ready to use them.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 190°.

Step 6

Slice each orange into roughly 1/4" slices, or smaller if you can (for the oven method). This usually gives me 8-10 slices per orange.

Step 7

Lay orange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Note- if you would like them to dehydrate more quickly, place on an oven-safe cooling rack placed on top of a baking sheet (or just lay directly on the oven racks). This has the potential to add lines to your dried oranges, so you will need to keep an eye on them and flip them as needed.

Step 8

Bake for 2-4 hours; flip once, after an our or so of baking.

Step 9

Once dried, remove from oven and allow to cool on the rack.
