Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe plums
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the plums in a single layer.
Wash and halve the plums, removing the pits. Arrange the plum halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until combined.
Drizzle the honey-butter mixture evenly over the plums. Add the thyme sprigs to the baking dish, tucking them between the plums.
Roast the plums in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the plums cool for 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, pair with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
