Ingredients

  • Oranges or other citrus fruits you’ll get 12-16 slices from an orange

Instructions

  • Wash and cut the oranges into slices as thin as possible. If you have a mandoline slicer, use it. Remove the seeds from the oranges with the tip of a knife. Carefully pat each slice dry with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove excess liquid.
  • Place the slices on a tray lined with parchment paper or silpat. Bake at 200°F (no need to preheat the oven) for 3 hours, turning each slice every half hour.
  • They will be ready when they are dry. The exact baking time will depend on the thickness and size of the slices.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to four months for consumption.
