To preserve leaves, cut clean/washed leaves from the stem and lay out on a paper towel lined cookie sheet (so the leaves don’t stick to metal). Use the dehydrator at 150F. It takes around an hour.

I recommend that you keep the leaves whole after drying them because of the different uses of dried leaves.
