Ingredient Notes

• Oranges: Use fresh, juicy oranges for the best flavor, about 2-3 medium oranges.
• Almond flour: This can be found at most grocery stores; be sure to check for a fine grind for a smoother texture.
• Eggs: Large eggs work best; they help bind the ingredients together and provide moisture.
• Honey: Choose a mild, high-quality honey for sweetness without overpowering the orange flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Slice the oranges into thin rounds and arrange them in a baking dish, drizzling with honey to enhance their sweetness.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour and eggs until smooth; pour this mixture over the oranges.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tart is set and golden on top. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Roasting oranges can lead to caramelization, enhancing their flavor. If the tart is too soft after baking, allow it to cool longer. This dessert stores well in the fridge for 2-3 days; simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes to revive its texture.
