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

Steps:

• Line a small baking tray with foil, then spray with a bit of oil.
• Peel orange by removing the skin and the white membrane, then cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Lay flat on the foil lined tray.
• Drizzle with a good vanilla extract, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Finally, drizzle honey generously over each slice.
• Place oranges in oven or toaster oven, set to "broil".
• Broil until they are nice and brown on top. In my toaster oven, this takes about 15 minutes, but probably less in a regular oven.

ROASTED BEETS WITH ORANGE AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place beets on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil around beets and crimp ends to form a packet. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer beets to a large bowl and drizzle with vinegar, honey, and orange juice. Top with orange zest and thyme.

ROAST BEEF WITH ORANGE AND THYME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with heavy-duty foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Place beef in pan. 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.
• To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices; arrange on serving platter. Add potatoes and asparagus to platter. Spoon pan drippings over beef.
