Prepare your oven or food dehydrator. Basil leaves dry beautifully in either an oven set to very low heat or a food dehydrator. If you're using the oven, set it to the lowest temperature - 200 Â°F (93 Â°C) or lower. If you're using a food dehydrator, ready it for operation according to the manufacturer's instructions.
