Can I make these without a dehydrator?

Absolutely, Use your oven on its lowest setting (usually 170°F) with the door slightly propped open. They'll take about 4-6 hours this way - just check often so they don't burn.

Why are my grapefruit wheels still chewy?

Two likely culprits: slices were too thick (aim for that 1/4-inch sweet spot) or they needed more time. If they're sticky at all, pop them back in for another hour.

Do I need to peel the grapefruit first?

Nope, The peel adds lovely bitterness that balances the sweetness. Just wash thoroughly. Though if you prefer, you can trim off the very outer peel after dehydrating.

Can I use other citrus fruits?

Oh yes, Oranges, lemons, and limes all work beautifully. Adjust times slightly - thinner citrus like limes dry faster.

How do I know when they're done?

They should snap cleanly when bent, not fold. No moisture should squeeze out if you press them between your fingers.
