Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Red or black seedless grapes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the grapes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Remove the grape stems, but keep the grapes in small clusters if desired. Alternatively, you can roast them individually.
Place the grapes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the grapes and toss them gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the rosemary leaves, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the grapes.
Optional: drizzle honey over the grapes for additional sweetness.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes or until the grapes are slightly blistered and soft, but not mushy. Shake the pan gently halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the grapes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted grapes warm or at room temperature as an elegant topping for your cheese platter. Pairs wonderfully with creamy cheeses like brie, blue cheese, or goat cheese.
