Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the white pith to expose the vibrant flesh.
Slice the oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch thick discs and arrange them neatly on a serving plate.
Drizzle the orange slices evenly with honey to lightly sweeten them without overpowering their natural flavor.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the slices to add a warm, aromatic touch.
Optionally, chop the pistachios and scatter them over the oranges for added texture and flavor.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
Serve immediately as a light dessert or chilled for 10-15 minutes for an extra refreshing treat.
