How do you dry basil in the oven?
The leaves should be dried over the course of 24-48 hours until they are no longer moist; they should crumble easily when pinched between your fingers. If you're using the oven, place the tray of leaves inside the preheated oven and let them bake for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the leaves inside overnight.
What temperature should herbs be dried at?
Pre-heat dehydrator with the thermostat set to 95°F to 115°F. In areas with higher humidity, temperatures as high as 125°F may be needed. After rinsing under cool, running water and shaking to remove excess moisture, place the herbs in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Drying times may vary from 1 to 4 hours.
