Orange and Almond Tray Bake

Oranges and almonds are a popular Mediterranean pairing, and for good reason. The citrusy tang of oranges combined with the rich, moistness of almonds is wonderful and perfectly complemented by a drizzle of Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil. The candied oranges provide the finishing touch and a beautiful presentation.
