Ingredients
  

  • 1 large orange sliced 1/4” thick
  • 1 large lemon sliced 1/4” thick
  • 1 lime sliced 1/4” thick

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. You might need 2 to accommodate all the slices.
  • Lay the citrus slices flat on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
  • Dry them in the oven for about 2 to 3 hours, flipping halfway through. They should be dry but still vibrant in color.
  • You can also use a dehydrator or air fryer with a dehydrate mode to dry the citrus.
  • Once dried, store them in an airtight container or ziptop bag.
