It’s orange season!

Oranges are one of my favorite citrus fruit. I often find myself buying oranges in bulk during this time of year because they are super cheap! But sometimes I don’t eat them quick enough and run out of ideas to use them. Can anyone else relate?

I haven’t been that adventurous with oranges in the kitchen as much as I would like to. I’ve seen many recipe developers cleverly turn this bright citrus fruit into something unique and pleasantly tasty. That is why I put together this recipe roundup that includes 45 unique recipes to inspire you in using oranges in ways you may probably not have used in the past. This citrus fruit has become so versatile in the kitchen-from sauces for savory plant-based dishes to delicious desserts that pair so perfectly with chocolate! You’ll see in these amazing treats!
