Roasted Summer Fruits
Tuesday February 14, 2012Recipe: Roasted Summer Fruits
Summary: When the fruits of summer (peaches, nectarines, plums, raspberries) are in season, you don’t need to do anything to them if you want a delicious treat. But it can be fun to play around with them just a bit. One of my favorite simple things to make for dinner is roasted seasonal vegetables—just toss whatever’s fresh with a little oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in the oven. Why not do something similar with fruit? The result is warm, luscious, and simply good. The measurements and specifi c fruits listed here are just guidelines—feel free to use whatever looks good at your local farm stand or farmers’ market. Serve the roasted fruit with ice cream, whipped cream, or a lemon cake.
