How to Make Dried Orange Peel

I have been a fan of peels ever since it was introduced by my mom. My first peel was a Chinese orange peel she bought from  a mall inside Clark, Pampanga and I loved it ever since. I was probably 7 years old that time. Now that I am re-introducing raw food in my lifestyle, I think I can pretty much do anything including dried orange peel.
You can make orange peel candies out of these orange peels, or add zest to your tea, coffee or any preferred drink, or add a sweet kick to your favorite dish. Whatever food or beverage you have in mind an orange peel is a good addition to your food to enhance both the taste and texture.

1. Thoroughly wash your orange. I used navel orange.

2. Peel the orange and slice them as shown in the picture above. Make sure not to include the white part so much or the pith to prevent the bitter taste.

3. Spread the peel on a flat baking pan. Place the pan in a 250 F oven.

4. Let the peel stay for around 15 to 25 minutes until you see them start to curl. When done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool.
*Enjoy your orange peel by placing in in a airtight storage or container and store in the ref.
