How to dry orange slices

It’s super easy to dry orange slices. I also do grapefruits too because I just love the color!

1. Start by preheating your oven to 200 degrees F.
2. Slice your oranges and grapefruits about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the citruses on the parchment paper.
4. Bake in the oven for about 5-6 hours, flipping regularly so that each side is dried evenly.
5. Let cool
