    🥘 Ingredients

    To make dried orange slices, you will only need one ingredient: oranges! You can also use any seasoning you like, such as cinnamon.

    🔪 How to dry orange slices in the oven

    Cut the oranges into thin discs. The thinner you cut them, the faster they dry out in the oven. Aim to cut them in 5 mm or ¼ inch discs.

    Dehydrate them in the oven at 250°F / 100°C fan oven / 120°C for 2-3 hours. Turn them over after an hour. The orange slices are done when they have dried out completely and feel crunchy.

    Leave the oranges to cool down fully before serving them or adding them to a container.

    💭 Top tips

    Here are my best tips for perfect dried orange slices:

    • Be patient as the orange slices bake. Don’t be tempted to increase the temperature of the oven, as this can cause the oranges to burn.
    • Oranges contain a lot of water, and therefore tend to take longer to bake compared to other dried fruits.
    • Use ripe, sweet oranges and slice them as thinly as you can to reduce the baking time required.

    🥗 Serving suggestions

    Serve dried orange slices by themselves as an easy snack, or dice them and use like you would use other dried fruits. Try adding chunks of dried oranges to cookies, granola or smoothie bowls.

    🍲 Leftovers

    Leftover dried oranges can be stored in an airtight container for up to several weeks.
