Caramelized Brown Sugar Oranges with Yogurt

Caramelized Brown Sugar Oranges with Yogurt

Ingredients

Makes

  • A few oranges, even imperfect ones
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • A little light brown sugar
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • A few leaves of mint, sliced thin

Preparation

  1. Heat your broiler.
  2. Cut tops and bottoms off oranges, exposing the flesh inside and creating a flat edge that you can stand it up on. Then slice off all the white from each orange. Cut skinned oranges into 1/2-inch crosswise slices, so that each resemble a wheel or flower.
  3. Line a heavy baking sheet with foil and lightly coat it with oil or a nonstick spray. Arrange orange slices in one layer on it. Dab or schmear each with a little bit of brown sugar — I used about 1/4 teaspoon on each. Run under the broiler until they begin to brown on top; this can take anywhere from 5 minutes in a very good broiler to 10 to 15 in my sleepy one. Keep an eye on it.
  4. Transfer oranges and any juices on tray to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight. More juices will have puddled by the morning. Place a few orange slices in a small glass or cup, top with yogurt, a spoonful of juices and mint.
