Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Remove any seeds from the slices.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add the orange slices to the simmering syrup, making sure they are fully submerged.

Simmer for about 45 minutes, turning the slices occasionally until they become translucent.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the candied orange slices to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Let them cool and dry for at least 1 hour on a cooling rack.

Once dried, the candied orange slices can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy as a snack or use as a garnish for desserts.
