An editor once called her “the kitchen sink writer." Translation - Boston-based freelancer Cheryl Fenton can write about anything, including the kitchen sink (peep her interior design pieces). Her bylines run the gamut from dailies like USAToday and the Boston Globe to monthly pubs including Whole Foods, Women's Health & Fitness, and Cooking Light to book covers (there's a travel guide for Fodor's with her name on it and a fitness read she wrote with Tamilee Webb of Buns of Steel fame).

What do you kick your day off with every morning? Well, if you have an air fryer at home, there’s a citrus treat that’s about to give your breakfast staple a run for its money. 

Jen Jones, owner of Nevéll Skin, posted “your morning obsession” to her 552,000-plus TikTok followers and it may be one you’re surprised to see: air-fried oranges. They’re super easy to make and would be good as a quick snack any time of day. Simply cut the fruit into thick slices and peel with a serrated knife (don’t forget to compost the discarded peels). After a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of cinnamon, Jones pops them into her Ninja Air fryer at 400°F for four minutes. The result? Caramelized slices of pure morning sunshine.

To add a little more flavor and texture to the dish, she layers the orange slices with plant-based yogurt and granola before digging in. Whether you’re an orange-lover or not, these can be the perfect way to start your day.

This isn’t the first time this skincare maven has hit the air fryer for some tasty plant-based treats. Her recipe for an air fryer banana split has grown to be popular, too. If you’ve decided that you would prefer your oranges chilled in the morning, though, try this creamy orange date smoothie to please your palate.
