Ingredients
– 2 large oranges, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

2. Add the orange slices to the simmering sugar syrup. Reduce heat to low and let the slices simmer for 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are translucent and lightly caramelized.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the candied orange slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
4. Let the slices cool completely, then enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for desserts.

– Store the candied orange slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
