Method

Prepare the almonds.
Measure out 20 almonds. If they are raw, you can use them as is or lightly toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Toasting enhances their flavor but is optional.
Tip: Keep stirring the almonds while toasting to prevent burning. -
Peel the orange.
Use your hands or a small knife to carefully peel the orange, removing all the white pith as much as possible to avoid bitterness. Then, separate the orange into individual segments.
Tip: Peeling over a bowl can catch the juice for an extra burst of flavor. -
Assemble and serve.
Place the peeled orange segments on a plate or in a bowl. Arrange the almonds around or on top of the orange. Enjoy immediately as a fresh and healthy snack.
Tip: You can drizzle a little honey or sprinkle some cinnamon on top for added flavor if desired.
Pro tips
- Toast almonds gently in a dry pan to enhance flavor without adding oil.
- Choose a sweet, ripe orange for best taste and juiciness.
