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.

Wow, these are gorgeous! Roasted citrus atop some lightly sweetened waffles? I think yes.

I can’t get enough of citrus these days, and now a new way to enjoy it, thanks!
Amy @Macncheesenpeas

Kaylie @ Skinny Muffin
Hi Joy! What program do you use, or how do you get the words on your pictures? I think that’s so cute! Thanks!

i don’t think this sounds crazy at all! one of my favorite breakfasts is broiled grapefruit with a touch of brown sugar and sea salt….

The colours in those photos are absolutely gorgeous. I’m gorging myself on blood oranges now that they’re in season but hadn’t thought to roast them – what a lovely idea.

I would of never thought to try this, but now you have me curious so I think I might have to.

I can’t really imagine what this tastes like so I’m wondering, what else you served with brunch and/or what other flavors pair well with roasted citrus. It looks just beautiful!
Elle
.. It would be good if I read closely. I see you addressed that in your post. Sorry.

I have been on a huge blood orange kick lately. I ate a grapefruit yesterday too. I love citrus!
Greta @ Staying Lost
I have a dozen grapefruit in my fridge. Thank you for helping me think of a way to use them up!

Yum! So colorful and lively. I bet they’d be great as a side dish to pork.
This Christmas, I saw a friend’s tree decorated with dried wheels of winter citrus that she had baked in her oven. It was GORGEOUS, especially the red grapefruit wheels. I never would have guessed. Now this makes *two* surprising ways to use winter citrus!

i would TOTALLY rock these as earrings too! and i’m sure they smell incredible, so maybe they could double as perfume? :)
