Don’t Toss Those Lemon Peels… Make Lemon Powder Instead
Using a Food Dehydrator:
- Set your dehydrator to 95-105°F
- Place loaded trays in the dehydrator
- Check progress after 12 hours
- Continue drying until peels are completely brittle (typically 24-48 hours)
Using an Oven:
- Set oven to its lowest temperature setting
- Prop the oven door open slightly with a wooden spoon
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack
- Check every 2-3 hours
- Total drying time varies but usually takes 6-12 hours
Testing for Doneness: Peels should snap cleanly when bent, with no flexibility. If there’s any bend or give, continue drying.
