Oven baked orange and grapefruit slices are caramelized, topped with tangy yogurt, toasted oats, and bee pollen.
During winter, there's always a bowl of citrus sitting on our kitchen counter. We buy about 20 pounds of oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and Meyer lemons from the farmers market every week. Yes 20 pounds! We juice everyday, throw them in salad, bake with them, and snack on them. One of our favorite snacks is combining citrus with yogurt and granola. Today we’re sharing a new take on our favorite old snack, baked citrus with yogurt, toasted oats, and bee pollen.
Seasonal Moro blood oranges, Valencia oranges, and grapefruits take center stage in this delicious snack. These oranges and grapefruits and sliced thinly, topped with sugar, and baked in the oven until the edges are caramelized and flavor concentrated. While the citrus slices are baking, rolled oats are pan toasted with coconut and honey to a beautiful golden color. Everything comes together in one plate with caramelized citrus slices, coconutty oats, tangy yogurt, and bee pollen. The baked citrus with yogurt, toasted oats, and bee pollen is perfect as a snack or breakfast. If you're feeling lazy about making the oats, you can skip it and enjoy the citrus slices with just yogurt. These citrus slices can also be served as a dessert with creme fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
