Ingredients
- Raw almonds 14 nuts
- Orange 1 small
Method

Prepare the almonds.
Count out 14 raw almonds. These should be whole, raw, and unsalted to keep the snack healthy and natural.
Tip: Use a small bowl or plate to keep the almonds together and avoid losing any nuts. -
Peel the orange.
Take the small orange and carefully peel off the skin with your fingers. Remove any white pith as much as possible to avoid bitterness.
Tip: Peeling the orange over a bowl can catch any juice that drips, which you can enjoy separately or add to the snack. -
Slice the orange.
Place the peeled orange on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin, bite-sized wedges or rounds.
Tip: Make sure to cut carefully to avoid squashing the juicy orange slices. -
Arrange and serve.
Arrange the 14 almonds alongside the orange slices on a small plate or bowl. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Tip: You can chill the orange beforehand for a refreshing cool snack.
Pro tips
- For added flavor, lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to burn them.
- If you prefer, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon on the orange slices for a warm, aromatic twist.
