Roasted Winter Citrus

January 29, 2012 by Joy the Baker 113 Comments

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!)

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.

    Le yum. We had a man recently trade grapefruits for lessons in creaming honey. Our staff tore through them! I have a few saved though, so I’ll have to try this…

    This sounds absolutely perfect for a cold winter snack, especially after a long weekend. Something I’m definitely going to have to bring out when I have friends over this weekend!

    I want to do this only with about a tablespoon of ground ginger mixed with the sugar. I’ll have to get more citrus. My kumquats and lemons are for marmalade.

    Roasted some grapefruits and orange slices for breakfast with some sage. Yum. Unusual, but delicious.

    Just made it. Yum!! I roasted the slices in my toaster oven with different seasonings. In order of best taste, they were fine herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon), poultry seasoning (coriander, allspice, thyme, sage, marjoram, white pepper), plan salt & sugar, and garam masala & coriander. I love it. Also, the tangerines shredded up with a fork – so good in wild rice or something.

    I had just earlier thought of carmelized fruit parfait for dessert, but it would have been to sweet for my guests. This is perfect!

    Thanks so much. I’m ready for my Dad’s birthday now with the citrus smoothie AND the roasted fruit AND a better way to make pancakes.

    I just got an orange to try this… and ate the entire thing in one sitting. Oops. It looks wonderful, but probably not the best for the tropics! :)

    I’ve never heard of roasting citrus, but they would certainly make a beautiful brunch contribution!
