In this study,  Kageneckia oblonga  leaves were dried under different drying conditions and techniques [oven drying (NC), vacuum drying (VNC), convective drying (FC), and microwave-assisted convective drying (MWFC)]. Thus, the effect of temperature, vacuum, and microwave on the drying features of  K. oblonga  leaves was determined. Fick's second law was used to calculate the effective moisture diffusivity that varied from 3.94 to 8.14 × 10 −11  m 2 /s, 1.12 to 1.40 × 10 −11  m 2 /s, 7.83 to 11.36 × 10 −11  m 2 /s, and 6.93 to 16.72 × 10 −11  m 2 /s for NC, VNC, FC, and MWFC methods, respectively. In addition, the Weibull and Midilli–Kucuk models accurately predicted all experimental drying curves of  K. oblonga  leaves. Regarding the energy consumption and efficiency values for different drying methods of  K. oblonga  were found to be in the range of 0.20–7.50 kW·h and 0.10–3.70%, respectively. The results showed that MWFC method does not significantly affect the phenolic compounds and could be used for large-scale production of  K. oblonga  dried leaves.
