Everything you need to know on how to dehydrate oranges. The easiest way to create perfect dehydrated oranges is without extra equipment, and you won’t believe how simple it is!
Servings: 25 orange slices
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 2 Cookie Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 5 large oranges sliced
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar optional, if you want the darker candied dried oranges.
Instructions
- I make sure to thoroughly wash my oranges before starting. Once they're clean, I pat them dry with paper towels.
- Slice the oranges to about 1/4″ thickness, ensuring that all slices are even. This can vary slightly based on preference, from 1/8″ to 1/4″.
- Next, I line my cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and then arrange the slices on the prepared sheets.
- The slices must bake in the center for 4-5 hours until fully dehydrated.
- After baking, I let them cool before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Dried oranges have a long shelf life; they stay fresh for at least a year and a half.
- These can be created for use in cocktails or as decorations.
- Experimenting with blood oranges, limes, or lemons can yield tasty results.
- It's essential to store them at room temperature in a sealed container for up to a year.
