  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to broil to prepare for caramelizing the oranges.
  2. Cut the oranges: Slice the oranges horizontally into halves, ensuring one half includes the stem top and the other the bottom.
  3. Loosen the flesh: Carefully use a sharp knife to cut a circle around the outer edge of each orange half without removing any fruit, making it easier to eat later.
  4. Segment the oranges: Cut along the membranes of the flesh to create segments while keeping all pieces intact, facilitating easier serving and eating.
  5. Prepare the honey glaze: In a small bowl, mix the honey with pumpkin pie spice, then microwave for about 10 seconds until warm and fluid, taking care not to overheat.
  6. Blend the glaze: Stir the honey and pumpkin pie spice mixture until well combined and smooth.
  7. Apply the glaze: Using a pastry brush, generously coat the orange halves with the warm honey-spice glaze, spreading it over and between all the segments.
  8. Arrange for broiling: Place the glazed orange halves on a sheet pan with the cut side facing upward to ensure even caramelization.
  9. Broil the oranges: Cook in the oven on the broil setting for 3 to 5 minutes, checking carefully starting at 3 minutes to avoid burning; aim for about 4 minutes until the top is caramelized and bubbly.
  10. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and enjoy the warm, sweet, and spiced baked oranges immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye while broiling as the sugars can burn quickly within minutes.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if unavailable.
  • Using freshly squeezed orange halves with intact membranes preserves juiciness during broiling.
  • This recipe serves well as a light dessert or a unique brunch accompaniment.
  • Adjust the honey quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
