Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Plums
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the plums thoroughly, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Place the halved plums in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the plums and gently toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cayenne pepper, and granulated sugar substitute. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the plums, ensuring each half gets a light coating.
Add the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice to the plums, and toss gently to mix the flavors.
Arrange the spiced plums cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out evenly.
Roast the plums in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the plums from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the roasted plums warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with plain Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.
