Calories = 180; Fat = 4 g; Cholesterol = 0 mg; Sodium = 0 mg; Carbohydrate = 36 g; Fiber = 4 g; Protein = 2 g

Ingredients
3 tablespoons hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup honey
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 sprig fresh rosemary, plus more sprigs for garnish
4 navel oranges

Directions
Place the hazelnuts in a small skillet over low heat and lightly toast until you can smell the aroma of the nuts. Remove them from the pan so that the nuts do not over-toast. Set aside to cool.

In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and zest. Heat over a low flame for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

Cut the peel from the top and the bottom of the oranges. Place one, cut side down, onto the cutting board and slice off the rind. Repeat with the remaining oranges. Cut each orange in half, along the equator, then cut each half into 4 pieces. Place the orange wedges on a serving platter and drizzle with the infused honey. Garnish with reserved rosemary and serve.
