I have to admit that baking oranges never crossed my mind.
Until I grabbed the trader joe’s dried oranges. They are like candy and SO good.
Which led me to googling, “Can you bake oranges?”
Absolutely! Once, I figured out that I could bake oranges in the oven, all of these fun flavor ideas came to me.
While this recipe is for baked whole oranges, I do want to try making dried orange slices in the oven next.
And maybe even use them for holiday decor – I’m not a DIY person AT ALL, but this seems doable!
As to what kind of oranges to use for baking, I love using navel and cara cara oranges in this recipe. This breakdown explains what makes a good orange for baking.
Now, I plan to incorporate several desserts made with fresh oranges for all of my fall and winter gatherings.

We love these cooked oranges as an after school snack!
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut over the flesh of the orange in a โ+โ shape, and around the outer edge to separate the flesh from the skin.
Use a spatula, knife or brush to spread the honey ginger mixture over the orange flesh, letting it soak between the flesh membranes as well.
I like to let it sit for a few minutes to get more flavor before putting in the oven.
Place the oranges in a casserole baking pan or sheet pan with skin side on the bottom and broil for 4-6 minutes.
You may have to go a little longer depending on how warm your broil is.
You want the edges to start to golden.
You could bake a variety of oranges, or other citrus fruit, like grapefruit, alongside these oranges.
You could also serve these baked oranges alongside a meal, like sheet pan salmon or chicken.
Use some of the juice in a baked orange chicken recipe – I need to try that next!
Serving them on a salad would be delicious and beautiful too! I love serving this quinoa sweetpotato salad with a bunch of different fruit!
You can use any large orange in your local grocery store. I liked the sweet, juicy flavor of a navel orange. A blood orange would provide a little deeper flavor and a beautiful hue of color! Avoid smaller oranges, like clementines or mandarins.
These roasted oranges are so good, so you may be wondering Can I eat two oranges? Yes! However, these are sweet, juicy and full of fiber, so you may feel satisfied after one. I recommend using the honey feta whip alongside to provide some fat and protein for satiety.
Yes! You can definitely cut them into slices after baking.
