Any way to do this in the oven? I don't have a microwave. I also live in Oregon and just hanging them to dry doesn't work like it did when I lived in AZ (now they just turn brown :( ). thx! You can dry your herbs in the oven, but they don't keep the bright colors as with microwaving. To oven dry, spread a layer of leaves or stems on a cookie sheet or shallow baking pan. Place the herbs in a warm (up to 180 F) oven for 3 to 4 hours. Leave the door open and stir the herbs periodically until they are thoroughly dry. ~Mel
