Grilled oranges are simple and inexpensive to make, yet the flavor is rich and delicious.

They can be used as a side dish, garnish or even a light dessert. I prefer them cooked on a freshly cleaned grill as to keep the distinct contrast of the citrus and sweet. If you prefer though, you can cook them after you’ve grilled a flavorful meat and they will take on a light smoky flavor.

Ingredients
2 – 4 Navel Oranges
Honey
Brown Sugar

Amounts will vary depending on how many oranges you use and how sweet you want the end results to be.

Preparation:

Cut the oranges into approximately ¼ inch thick slices. You can do this with the rind on or if you prefer, you can first peel the oranges.  We’ve chosen to cook two oranges and to leave the rind on as they tend to be easier to flip.

Preheat the grill to a low temperature. Spray the grate with nonstick cooking spray to keep the fruit from sticking.

Place the orange slices on the warm grill and allow them to cook about 5 minutes. Flip them over and continue cooking another 3 minutes.

Once they begin to soften, sprinkle each one with a little brown sugar.

Drizzle with honey and allow it to cook for another minute or two.

Remove from grill. Best served warm.
