Roasted Oranges With Thyme Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED SWEET POTATO SLICES WITH ORANGE AND FRESH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Select a large nonstick sheet pan at least 14 by 10 inches. Combine the sweet potato slices with the garlic and the oil in a large bowl; toss to coat with the oil. Bake, turning the potatoes once or twice as they begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley, thyme and orange zest together; sprinkle over the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are tender, turning them once. Serve hot.

ROASTED ORANGES WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place orange wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Mix honey, olive oil, thyme, and Sriracha sauce together in a small bowl. Brush enough mixture onto orange wedges to coat. Set remaining mixture aside for basting.
• Roast oranges in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, basting once halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle wedges lightly with coarse sea salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED OLIVES WITH ORANGE AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grate the zest of one orange, remove the zest of the second orange with a vegetable peeler, and then juice both oranges. In a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, toss together the olives, olive oil, 2 sprigs rosemary, the thyme, the zest removed with a peeler, orange juice, garlic, and 1 pinch crushed red pepper. Bake, tossing every 10 minutes, until the olives are slightly shriveled and the juices have reduced to a glaze, about 30 minutes.
• While the olives are still hot, break the remaining sprig of rosemary over the top. Sprinkle with the finely grated orange zest, the fennel powder, and one more pinch crushed red pepper. Toss, and serve while still hot.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SHALLOTS, ORANGE AND THYME

In small bowl, mix marmalade, oil and Sriracha sauce; set aside 3 tablespoons for glazing vegetables. Generously brush some of the remaining marmalade mixture over beef. Reserve remaining mixture.
• Roast beef uncovered 40 minutes, brushing beef occasionally with reserved marmalade mixture. Meanwhile, in another small bowl or cup, mix thyme, salt and pepper. Sprinkle top and sides of beef with 2 teaspoons of the thyme mixture. Place potatoes around beef. Generously brush potatoes with some of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with half of the remaining thyme mixture.
• Roast 45 to 55 minutes longer or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of beef reads 135°F. Place beef on cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F for medium-rare doneness. (Roast to 160°F for medium doneness.)
• Increase oven temperature to 425°F. Arrange asparagus in single layer in pan with potatoes. Brush asparagus with the rest of the 3 tablespoon marmalade mixture; sprinkle with remaining thyme mixture. Roast 7 to 10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH BLOOD ORANGES AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Pat your chicken very, very dry. Leave on the skin, set breast-side up on a rack inside a shallow baking pan. (If you want to line the pan with parchment paper beforehand, the cleanup after will be that much easier.)
• Gently loosen the skin with your fingertips and rub all over with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season the cavity and the outside of the chicken with thyme.
• Wash and cut the blood oranges, halving them across.
• Without peeling, slice two halves into quarter- to eighth-inch thick slices and slide beneath the chicken skin. Repeat until you have at least one half of an orange's worth inserted.
• Either quarter or continue slicing the remaining orange halves and insert into the cavity with the thyme.
• Place the chicken on the center rack in the oven for an hour.
• Take the chicken out, poke the leg to make sure it's tender, cooked, and the juices run clear. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
• Serve up with roasted potatoes and another vegetable, if you like. Enjoy!
