Ingredients
- 4 Oranges
Instructions
- Thinly slice the oranges. It still looks thick at this time but when they dry out they will go a lot thinner. If you can cut them smaller then that also works and will be quicker to dry out. Mine are normally between 3-5mm.
- Once the pieces are sliced put them on kitchen paper and absorb as much juice as you can.
- Place the orange slices on the air fryer racks.
- Please note if you are doing a single layer at a time it will dry the slices quicker, so please reduce the time.
- Place the air fryer drawer into the air fryer and set the temperature to 100ºC / about 212ºF. Cook the oranges for about 1 hour turning after 25 minutes. Check them again and remove any dehydrated pieces when they are done. Depending on how thick the slices are it may need a little longer.
- Once the time is up leave them leave them to cool in the air fryer and they are ready. They might still be a bit sticky or tacky but leave them somewhere to fully air dry.
- They are now ready to use for decorations around the home or on your bakes and drinks.
Notes
- Store them where they can be open to the air to dry fully.
- If you want to dry the orange slices on a lower temperature they will take a lot longer to dry.
- Once they have been used they can be composted.
