Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Cherries

  • 1 pound Northwest-grown sweet cherries (about 3 cups), pitted and halved
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

To Assemble

  • 4 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup roasted sweet cherries (reserved after roasting)
  • 1/4 cup granola
  • Honey, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cherries: Pit the cherries and slice each one in half to allow even roasting and release of their juices.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cherries with lime juice, vanilla extract, cane sugar, a pinch of salt, and coconut oil. Stir thoroughly to coat all the cherries with the mixture.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the cherry mixture evenly in a single layer on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  5. Roast the Cherries: Bake the cherries at 400° F for 18 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a bowl.
  6. Assemble the Yogurt Bowl: Place 4 oz of Greek yogurt in serving bowls. Top with 1/4 cup of the warm roasted cherries, 1/4 cup granola for crunch, and drizzle honey to your preferred sweetness.
  7. Serve and Store: Enjoy immediately while the cherries are warm. Store any leftover roasted cherries in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Pitting cherries can be made easier using a cherry pitter or by carefully cutting around the pit with a small knife.
  • Adjust the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference or dietary needs.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with any other thick yogurt or non-dairy alternative if desired.
  • Granola can be swapped with nuts or seeds for a different texture and nutritional profile.
  • Leftover roasted cherries are great over pancakes, oatmeal, or as a topping for desserts.
