Instructions
- Wash and dry oranges.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the orange color along with a bit of the white pith of the orange.
- Stack the peels on top of each other and slice into strips.
- Cut in the opposite direction to dice the peels.
- Sprinkle on a parchment paper lined baking pan.
- Bake at 250 in 15 minute increments until dried, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
Notes
The amount of dried orange peel will depend on how many oranges you use.
Be sure to stir the peels as they bake. Once every 15 minutes until dry.
I use them in recipes such as mulling spices but they can also be added to a tea blend to bring bright flavors to your cup of tea. If your peels are super dried, you can pulse them in a food processor until they become orange peel powder. Often that is hard to find ingredient and you can make it at home!
