Discover how to dry orange slices both with and without an oven and tips for using dried orange slices for decorations and cocktails.

1

Place the oranges on a cutting board, and slice them into thin, even rounds using a sharp knife.  Aim for slices that are approximately ¼ inch thick.

Place the baking sheet with the orange slices in the preheated oven. If you do not have a fan-assisted baking oven, leave the oven door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape.

2

Store dried orange slices in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place in your pantry, away from direct sunlight.

3

To intensify the orange flavor, rehydrate the dried slices by soaking them in warm water, orange juice, or your favorite liquor before using them as garnishes.
