Ingredients
  

2 large navel oranges

1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smoothness)

Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Optional garnish: finely chopped pistachios or crushed freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oranges:

    - Wash the oranges thoroughly and dry them. Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds, removing any seeds if present. You can also cut the slices into half-moons for a different presentation.

      Melt the Chocolate:

        - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.

          Dip the Orange Slices:

            - Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a fork or dipping utensil, dip each orange slice into the melted chocolate, coating half or three-quarters of the slice. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the parchment-lined tray.

              Add Toppings:

                - While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the dipped part of each slice. If using, sprinkle the finely chopped pistachios or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for added crunch and color.

                  Set the Slices:

                    - Once all slices are dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.

                      Serve:

                        - Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the chocolate-dipped orange slices to a serving platter. Enjoy them immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
