Equipment

  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 each medium navel oranges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 225°F.
  • Thinly slices navel oranges, to between ⅛ - ¼ inch thick, trying to slice them as uniformly as possible.
  • Lay, in a single layer, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Place the orange slices in the oven, and bake for 2 hours, rotating halfway through.
  • Remove the oranges from the oven, and flip over. Return the orange slices to the oven, and bake for another 1 ½ - 2 hours, or until they are dried, and the rinds are slightly crisp, but the center is still slightly moist. The centers will fully dry as they cool.
  • Store in an air tight container for up to 6 months.
