Baked Citrus Rounds
"I got this recipe several years ago from a cookbook called The Treasury of Favorite Brand Name Recipes. We have it often as a side dish when I serve our favorite spicy Caribbean dish, because the succulent citrus rounds nicley complement the savory spice blends featured in that Caribbean dish. I think it would also be great with other spicy cuisines as well....perhaps as a side dish to accompany a zesty Italian dish or a spicy Mexican entree. It's very simple to prepare, and it uses only 4 common ingredients. I hope you like it."

ingredients
- 2 oranges
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Peel both oranges and the grapefruit; discard the peels. Slice all the cirtus fruits into thin rounds (about 1/4" thick). Place the citrus rounds on an ungreased baking sheet, overlapping the edges just a bit.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir until thoroughly blended. Place about a teaspoon of the sugar mixture on the top of each citrus round. Using the back of the spoon, spread the sugar mixture evenly over the top of the citrus rounds.
- Bake in the oven (at 400°) for about for 5 or 7 minutes, or until the fruit slices are heated through.
- Serve immediately, while the fruit slices are still warm.

A sweet and colorful way to start the day. Made as written. We fond this to be a nice change of pace. Thanks for the post. -
I made this for breakfast this morning, using a mix of oranges and ruby red grapefruits. I love both oranges and grapefruits, and really thought I'd love this. But I felt the brown sugar and cinnamon overwhelmed the yummy citrus flavors. Made for Gimme 5 Tag game. -

I actually made this for a breakfast treat and enjoyed it along with a veggie bacon sandwich. Thanks for a yummy addition to oranges! Made for PRMR. -
This is one of the best things I have made this month! Totally yummy and good. It's so low fat and calorie too! Very good for you dessert. I made it for breakfast for myself this morning too. I'm going to try it with lemons too, as we really like them here. I'll bet you could make this up on the grill too, just use some tin foil. Made and Reviewed for PRMR - Thanks! :)

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
