How to Make Orange Peel Recipe
About This Orange Peel Recipe
Most of us never see or use Orange Peel until it is time to begin baking for the holidays. As the holidays arrive, we open up our cookbooks and discover that many recipes use it. However, can you find it in the stores when you need it!? Chances are, the answer is …no. Fortunately, all is not lost. You just need a simple and easy orange peel recipe. With this article on how to make orange peel, you can make it at home.
This author went to a half dozen local stores and could not find orange peel. Then, an online search readily found it. But, the cost was eight to ten dollars or more, and that’s before shipping! So, I embarked on a journey to make it myself at home. It was amazingly simple and cost virtually nothing. Instead of tossing out orange peels, the rind is the only ingredient. Baked goods turned out so delicious that I will only use homemade orange peel in the future.

Orange Peel Recipe Ingredients
There is just one ingredient for making orange peel. Select an orange with a healthy, unblemished rind. Naval oranges work best because the rind is thick.
Organic oranges, free of pesiticides are recommended.
How to Make Orange Peel Rccipe
- First, wash the orange.
- Next, use a vegetable peeler to remove the orange outer layer. Make thin slices so you get as little of the white part of the rind as possible.
- Then, cut the rind slices into thin 1/8-inch strips.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread the orange peels on top of the parchment paper.
- Use a dehydrator or bake them in the oven at 200° F for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Check to see if they are dry. If they are not quite dry, then continue to dry them for a few minutes more.
- Remove the dried orange peels from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Grind the orange peels in a blender, if desired.
- Now, they are ready to use.
Kitchen Cleaning Tip
Are your baking sheets looking a bit grungy? You can restore them with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
Sprinkle the sheet with baking soda. Then, lightly spray it with hydrogen peroxide. Next, sprinkle a little more baking soda on top.
Let it sit for an hour or two. Finally, wash the sheet off and see the difference!
