Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe persimmons
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the persimmons. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, removing any seeds as you slice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to create the spice mixture.
Add the persimmon slices to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat the slices evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until melted, then drizzle it over the coated persimmon slices and gently toss again to combine.
Arrange the persimmon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the persimmon slices begin to caramelize and become tender. Check at the 12-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
Remove from the oven and allow the slices to cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy snack or side dish.
