Ingredients
Scale
- 2-3 fresh oranges (preferably seedless)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice Oranges: Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the oranges into thin, even rounds (approximately ⅛ inch thick).
- Dry the Slices: Place the orange slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Bake Slowly: Bake for 2-3 hours, flipping the slices halfway through. Check periodically—they should be dry but not browned.
- Cool and Store: Once fully dried, let the slices cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
Notes
- Thinner slices dry faster and produce a crisp texture.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle the slices lightly with cinnamon or sugar before baking.
- Use as a drink garnish, holiday decoration, or a healthy snack.
