Ingredients
6–8 medium navel oranges
Instructions
Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C).
Slice oranges thinly (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), keeping slices as uniform as possible for even drying.
Arrange orange slices in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 2 hours, rotating baking sheets halfway through.
Flip each slice over, then return to oven and bake for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Oranges are done when rinds are crisp and centers are mostly dry (they will finish drying as they cool).
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Notes
Best results come from uniform slicing—use a mandoline if possible.
Keep oven door slightly ajar to release moisture if needed.
Use for garlands, wreaths, cocktails, gift wrapping, or snacking!
Blood oranges and Cara Cara oranges also work beautifully.
