Ingredients
- 1 bunch of red grapes
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6 to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the grapes evenly.
- Prepare the Grapes: Place the entire bunch of red grapes in a baking dish, spreading them out slightly for even cooking.
- Mix Thyme and Honey: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves with 2 tablespoons of honey, stirring to blend the flavors beautifully.
- Drizzle Over Grapes: Pour the thyme and honey mixture evenly over the grapes, ensuring each grape is lightly coated.
- Roast the Grapes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the grapes have shriveled and caramelized, intensifying their natural sweetness.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the grapes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavors settle and the syrup thicken slightly.
Notes
- Use fresh red grapes for best flavor and texture.
- Thyme can be substituted with rosemary or lavender for a different herbal note.
- Serve the roasted grapes warm or at room temperature paired with cheese or yogurt.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make sure grapes are dry before roasting to avoid excess moisture during cooking.
