Place the sugar-coated peels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet in 200-degree warm oven and allow them to dry out. This should take approximately one hour, but check them every 20 minutes to ensure that they are not burning or cooking in any way. Alternately, they can be left to sit overnight on a drying rack instead of placed in the oven.
