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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Step 2

Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, leaving the peels on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Arrange the orange slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them if necessary.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the spiced honey-butter mixture evenly over the orange slices, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature as a standalone dessert or paired with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for extra indulgence.
