With just a couple of extra steps, you can add even more flavor to your morning with this Roasted Vanilla Orange Juice! Before juicing six oranges, set aside a couple. Slice them in half and arrange in an 8×8 inch baking dish with water, sugar, and a halved vanilla bean. As the oranges roast in a 350˚F oven, the sugar and water reduce with the vanilla to create a light and fragrant syrup. After about 25-30 minutes, the oranges will puff and develop a golden brown color around the edges. Allow the oranges to cool to room temperature before juicing and combining with the remaining oranges and syrup from the pan.
The Roasted Vanilla Orange Juice can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week. Stir well before serving to help mix in any vanilla that may have drifted to the bottom of the glass.
I usually buy my vanilla beans on Amazon. The price is generally less expensive than the local grocery stores.
The original recipe from Feasting on Art also includes an additional sugar syrup. I found the sweetness to be perfect for me with simply the 1/3 cup sugar added to the orange slices, but adjust to taste and flavor with a sugar syrup if desired. You can even play around with some honey or your favorite sugar substitute.
