Description
Make your own Dried Orange Slices. Perfect for garnishing drinks, desserts, or using as festive decor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 navel oranges, preferably very firm
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees F. If available, use the convection option.
- Line two large baking pans with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top of each.
- Slice the oranges into thin slices. Aim for about 12 slices per orange, discarding the ends.
- Lay the slices between paper towels and press to absorb excess juice.
- Arrange the orange slices on the wire racks.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Flip the slices and bake for another hour.
- Flip again and bake for 1 more hour (3 hours total).
- Check the slices. Transfer fully dried slices to a plate. Return any plump or sticky slices to the oven for 30-minute intervals, flipping each time, until fully dried.
- Cool completely and use as desired.
Notes
- Baking time may increase by 1-2 hours if using a non-convection oven or baking directly on parchment paper.
