Peel the oranges and carefully remove all the white pith using a sharp knife. Slice the oranges into thin rounds and arrange them in a shallow serving dish, slightly overlapping.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Heat over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm and well combined. Be cautious not to let it boil.
Drizzle the warm honey-cinnamon syrup evenly over the sliced oranges.
Roughly chop the pistachios and sprinkle them over the oranges for added crunch and flavor.
If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled dessert. Enjoy!
