DRIED ORANGE SLICES
Dried orange slices are beautiful, fragrant, and easy to make. Use them for holiday decorations, garnishes, or snacking. They’re naturally sweet and can be oven-dried with just one ingredient—fresh oranges.
Ingredients
- 2 –3 medium oranges navel, blood, or Cara Cara
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Slice the Oranges:
- Wash oranges thoroughly. Slice into thin rounds, about ⅛ inch thick, removing any seeds.
Arrange and Dry:
- Place slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 2½–3½ hours, flipping every 45 minutes, until completely dried.
Cool and Store:
- Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or dip half in dark chocolate for a festive twist. Serving Suggestions:
