Balsamic-Glazed Oranges are a simple yet flavorful dish that will spruce up any fruit bowl. The oranges are glazed with a deliciously sweet and tangy balsamic glaze, adding a unique taste that you won't find in a typical orange. This dish is perfect as a healthy dessert option or as a side dish to complement a meal. The addition of brown sugar balances the tartness of the balsamic vinegar, making it an excellent recipe for those who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3.	Slice the tops and bottoms off of each orange and discard. Slice each orange widthwise into 5 to 6 slices.
4.	Arrange the orange slices in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the oranges, making sure each slice is coated.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the oranges are slightly caramelized and tender.
