Sliced Oranges with Candied Hazelnuts

This Mediterranean-inspired dessert is a good source of two types of fiber—soluble, from the oranges, and insoluble, thanks to the hazelnuts. Look for orange-flower water at specialty grocers.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh orange juice, strained (from 2 to 3 oranges)
1 sprig rosemary, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons mild honey, such as orange blossom
1 tablespoon orange-flower water
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped blanched hazelnuts
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
4 navel oranges, peel and pith removed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together orange juice, rosemary, honey, and orange-flower water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, skimming foam from surface with a slotted spoon, until mixture has reduced to 1/3 cup, 7 to 9 minutes. Let syrup cool completely.

    Step 2

    Place chopped nuts in a small bowl. Whisk egg white in another bowl until foamy. Stir 2 to 3 tablespoons whipped egg white into the nuts (enough to coat nuts). Add brown sugar and cinnamon; stir to coat nuts. Transfer hazelnuts to a rimmed baking sheet, and spread in an even layer. Bake until dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool completely.

    Step 3

    Slice oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Divide evenly among serving dishes. Drizzle orange-flower syrup on top; sprinkle with candied hazelnuts. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.
