4. In a small bowl, zest two oranges.

6. Add sliced garlic, a quarter cup of honey, and a quarter cup of olive oil to the bowl with orange zest, juice and pulp.

12. Bake for about 2 hours in the preheated 350°F oven.
13. After 2 hours, remove foil and parchment and bake uncovered for another 30 to 45 minutes until golden on top.
14. Serve over rice, noodles, or couscous.
