Roasted Black Grapes

Have you ever tried roasted grapes?

I’m so fonded of the roasted fruits. After my husband came last week with boxes of grapes and there were much remain sitting in the fridge, I hate to trash them, so what’s a best way to use them before they start to wrinkle. I usually use grapes in cocktail juices, but I remembered my mom grape marmalade, it was always my favorite, delicious, I was enjoying eating the sweet and soft grape by fork, I know I had to try them myself, with the simplest way to do.

Roasting the grapes bring their sweetness, concentrate the sugars and intensify the flavors. The delicious result is something sweet and savory at the same time, the same flavors when you roast figs and plums.

So, Why not to satisfy your tooth while boasting our immune system, grapes are known as they protect from viruses and infections.

Roasting grapes is just so easy and simple. Toss the grapes with salt add more sugar if you like, and some olive oil, let roast slowly in the oven. It can be partner with many meals, as a side dish with roasted meat or chicken or may be turkey, for desserts serve beside your favorite cake, or make a change with your snack when pairing the roasted grape with cheese topped bread or crackers make it a unique and stunning appetizer, but what I liked the most is when I topped it over yogurt and granola for the most delicious healthy start of my day.

For robust breakfast, add these granola bites on top of your fruit and yogurt for extra flavor and more fiber in your diet, or for snacks enjoy it plain.

Granola Yogurt Parfait

Oat is one of my favorite breakfast food ingredient. I love a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning and I often use oats in my baking, as well. It give the cakes the softness like this pillow soft muffins. But most of all, I like using oats in this quick and easy granola recipe.

No time for making or eating breakfast?
Make your granola in a batch and enjoy it throughout the week. I like to sprinkle it over my yogurt for a sweet start in the morning, or you can zip it in less than 5 min and take it with you.

Granola Yogurt Parfait

Why should you make your own granola instead of buying ready made?
Because homemade granola tastes twice as good and costs half as much. You also can cut the fat down considerably when you make it at home and by using small amounts of canola oil, add the flavors you prefer, or load it with nuts and fruits of your choice.

What is grape molasses?
A Very healthy middle eastern thick syrup extracted from grapes. Anyone who is not familiar with grape molasses, it is very healthy and beneficial, very rich in antioxidants, well known for it’s high contents of iron and used widely in treating iron related anemia. You can find it at middle eastern stores.

Granola Yogurt Parfait

The key to making delicious granola is to bake it at low temp or a long time.
Store in an airtight plastic container with lids on in the cupboard, where it will await breakfaster or afternoon muncher. For long storage , keep it in the fridge or freeze it.

In this recipe, I used my homemade yogurt recipe, does not need to strain it because it is thick enough, smooth it a little with a whisk. Served loaded with oven roasted black grapes, then topped with some sweetened the granola and almond clustered that is coated with generous amount with grape molasses for additional healthy diet then toasted to nutty flavors.

Grape Molasses Almond Granola

1/2 cup chopped almond
2 cups old fashioned oat
1/4 cup grape molasses
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon canola oil

Preheat the oven at 275 f. Coat an oven pan with a little oil.
Place all ingredient in large mixing bowl, and stir very well until combined, make sure all coated with the molasses.
Spoon the entire mixture into the baking sheet, spread into a single layer, so they have room to get toasty.
Bake for 10 min, then rotate the pan and bake for another 10-15 min, let cool.
Once cool, break clumps into smaller parts, store in plastic jars.
