Ingredients
 

  • 1 orange (sliced in half)
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 handful sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Set your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Remove any seeds that are on the surface of the orange. If desired, run a knife between the flesh and peel and then cut slices, following the natural orange segments. (This makes for easier removal if you don't have a grapefruit spoon). You'll want to keep the peel intact so be careful not to cut through it.
  • Rub a teaspoon of brown sugar on each half of the orange. Place on the baking sheet and put under the broiler (I used my lower shelf so it was a good distance away. If you go closer, I would put the broiler on low).
  • Broil until bubbly and charred in a few places, about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the coconut in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Allow the coconut to get golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  • Serve oranges warm with the toasted coconut. If desired top with cinnamon or ginger.

Notes

  • The easiest way to eat these is with a grapefruit fork, but you know what the most fun way is? Cut each half in  quarters and just take a big bite.
