How to Make Dried Orange Slices in the Oven
Drying orange slices in the oven is an easy way to create garnishes for cocktails and mocktails. Dehydrated oranges make a healthy snack, and great for holiday decor and gift giving.
Ingredients
- 2 oranges, naval, cara cara, blood
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200 degrees.
- Set a wire rack in a sheet pan. Cover rack with parchment paper.
- Using a mandoline slicer or very sharp knife, slices oranges and other citrus into very thin slices - ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
- Place citrus slices on a paper towel and gently pat dry to remove any excess moisture.
- Lay orange slices in a single layer on the parchment cover rack.
- Place in the oven and bake for 3 hours, flipping slices every 30-60 minutes.
- Once slices are dry to the touch (they should not feel wet or sticky), remove from the oven.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container or glass jar in a dry, dark place.
- Dehydrated orange slices will stay edible for up to 1 year, and look good in decor for much longer than that.
