Roasted Grapes with Rosemary over Vanilla Ice Cream
Lately there seems to be an influx of herbs making their way into sweet desserts, so when I saw this recipe for roasted grapes with rosemary, I was curious. I love just about anything roasted as the surround heat in an oven tends to concentrate the flavors into an intense version of the original.

This recipe is so easy to prepare, you simply must try it! I put the grapes and rosemary sprigs in a bowl and added some olive oil and then tossed them with my hands to coat before placing them on the baking sheet. I served them slightly warm over some vanilla ice cream and even added some crispy rosemary leaves to the top. These are also great to eat on their own or add them to some plain Greek yogurt and top with a handful of muesli for a special breakfast treat! I could also imagine these served alongside a savory herb pork roast. If you think of other uses, please let me know!

On a parchment lined sheet tray, add the grapes and rosemary. Drizzle the oil on and stir to coat. Roast in a 300F oven for 1-2 hours depending on desired tenderness/texture.
How very unique and interesting..I want to know how it really tasted w/the ice-cream? Would you serve it again? Is this along the lines of chocolate w/sea salt in it…something you wouldn’t expect to be a delicious combo?
Good question Mindy and thanks for stopping by! I would serve it again for sure but it all comes down to personal taste. Just like some people love the sweet and spicy combination of Thai curries and some don’t like them at all. It’s pretty simple with few ingredients so I would say, if it sounds interesting to you, give it a try, it’s only a couple of bucks and you can also make a small portion of grapes in lieu of an entire bunch. It is unusual and healthy
I’m going to have to try this! Thanks Virginia
Hope you like it Valeta!
