I’m 87% sure there’s nothing you can do to ruin these perfect creations.
Winter citrus is sparkling!
If I could wear these citrus segments as earrings… I would.
Let’s roast these beauties!
I know. Weird.
Weird… but totally incredible. Warm and salty sweet citrus bites.
Winter citrus feels like such a paradox to me. Cool winds and brisk mornings somehow combine with the juciest, brightest fruit.
They match but they mismatch… just like red and hot pink. Matchy not matchy.
Alright… so what are you going to do with all of this warm, roasted citrus?
I love to serve wedges warm with a waffle or eggs benedict brunch.
They’re also really lovely as a side dish with roasted meat.
You might also consider Winter Citrus Pancakes. Crash! (bang! boom!)
Roasted Winter Citrus
This is so super simple. Your instincts will lead the way.
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice citrus (like grapefruit, blood oranges, and seedless tangerines) into small wedges. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt and just a touch of sugar. You might even add a bit of dried herbs, like herbes de provence. No biggie.
Roast for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

I would have never thought to roast those beauties! Or to put a cute pink and red on together! So cute! <3

you’re right – it does look weird, but I’m curious to try it. Besides, it’s easy and fast so there’s no excuse not to try it! :)

What a beautiful idea for a side dish. The kids even are fans of roasted lemons, but it never even crossed my mind to expand to other citrus fruits, and it certainly never dawned on me to use it as a side dish. Love your innovative style!

LOVE this- with yogurt, almonds and then it’s a toss up between a wodge of cake or roast chicken. It’s a multitasking wonder (like most women).

I’ve seen so many roasted fruits lately on blogs…why haven’t I done this? I don’t know but you have me convinced.
The shots of your fruit are so vibrant, I just want to dive into those oranges!

What do you think about roasting lemon and lime? Still too sour?
