Ingredients

  • 6 Oranges *Or Lemons or a combination of both.

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200℉.
  • Thinly slice oranges in uniform size - no more than 1/4 inch each. Thinner is better!
  • Place orange or lemon slices on parchment paper or on wire racks inside rimmed baking sheets. Make sure nothing overlaps.
  • Bake fruit slices in the oven for 3-4 hours, flipping over once halfway.
  • *When slices are completely dried out, remove them and store in an air-tight container.

Notes

*Lemons do not need as long in the oven as oranges. Lemons need 2-3 hours, in general, while oranges need 3-4 hours. 
Make sure dried fruit are completely dry or you risk them growing mold later on. Keep everything stored in an air-tight container for up to one year.
