adapted from JoyTheBaker at The Iron You
Ingredients:
- 6 (not too ripe) plums, cut in half and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey (pick one with a mild taste)
- A good drizzle of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF and place a rack in the middle.
- Place halved plums in an 8×8-inch square baking pan, cut side up.
- Drizzle with honey, olive oil, sprinkle with thyme leaves and salt.
- Roast for about 12-14 minutes, or until the plums are cooked through and the honey starts to caramelize and glazes the plums.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
- Serve as it is or with ice-cream, yogurt or creme fraiche. Serves 4.
Cook’s Note: Roasted plums will last in an airtight container in the refrigeration for up to three days.
Super easy and super quick – this is a delicious treat for any night of the week or a dazzling dessert for a late summer/early fall al fresco dinner party.
