Dark Chocolate-Dipped Orange Segments with Smoked Sea Salt and Chili
Course Snack
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large navel oranges
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • Peel both oranges and separate them into clean segments. Remove any white pith that remains.
  • Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each orange segment halfway into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off.
  • Place the dipped segments on the prepared sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each piece lightly with smoked sea salt and red chili flakes.
  • Let the chocolate set at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Work with room-temperature oranges so the chocolate adheres better and does not crack. If the chocolate thickens while dipping, warm it briefly again. These segments taste best the same day they are made.
