How To Dry Orange Slices

Citrus fruits of any kind can be used. After thorough washing and drying, slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. The drying process can be sped up a little by patting with paper towels.

Over large baking sheets, place wire racks. You can also use a big air fryer or dehydrator if you have one. If you don’t have a rack that will fit your baking sheets, line the sheets with parchment paper and cook directly on them, flipping the oranges halfway through. But it’s best to cook on a wire rack.

When the slices feel dry to the touch, they are ready. Avoid overcooking them because they will brown. They will become crisper as they cool, so allow to fully cool before using.
