One factor this recipe undoubtedly has going for it: It is easy. Essentially the most tough a part of the entire thing is slicing the orange slices into circles. Frankly, I discovered it simpler to simply chop the rinds off than hint inside circles with my knife, as @thejenjones did in her TikTok.

The ultimate step, once more, was fairly easy. I stacked oranges with yogurt, then topped with granola. The TikTok from @thejenjones used plant-based yogurt — they create a number of plant-based recipes — however all I had was plain, nonfat Greek yogurt, so I used that. My granola was a crushed up Nature Valley bar I snagged from my native bodega as a result of I wanted solely a tiny bit.
Stacking the deconstructed parfait of types wasn’t tough, actually, aside from the truth that the recent oranges started to liquify the yogurt nearly instantly. Nonetheless, my finish product wasn’t dangerous wanting.
Does not look terrible, proper?

The style, nonetheless, was a unique story. There’s something uncomfortable in regards to the style of an air fried orange. The intense tang is misplaced. The feel loses its snap. It is each dried out and tender and juicy. And it is scorching. I do not understand how else to explain it however as a scorching orange. A scorching, scorching orange.
Typically, much less is extra. This is able to truly be a tremendous sufficient breakfast for those who simply did not prepare dinner the oranges. Positive, it might really feel like doing much less, however a shiny, juicy citrus, paired with chilly, tangy yogurt, and crunchy granola? That will be a pleasant combo of temperatures, textures, and taste profiles. However the scorching oranges flip the chilly yogurt soupy and overpower every thing.
Nonetheless, be at liberty to offer the air-fried oranges a whirl. In any case, it went tremendous viral, which appears to suggest at the very least some individuals prefer it. As for me? I will be consuming oranges at room temp.
