Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole oranges
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, leaving the peels on for added texture and flavor.
Arrange the orange slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them if necessary.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Drizzle the spiced honey-butter mixture evenly over the orange slices, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the orange slices begin to caramelize and turn golden brown.
Remove the roasted oranges from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an herby aroma and flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a standalone dessert or paired with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for extra indulgence.
