Roasted Plums with Yogurt and Honey is a super simple breakfast, snack or dessert. Summer stone fruits are roasted and topped with simple yogurt and honey, making them a healthy, delightful way to start or end your day!
Like I said on Monday, if it’s past 9am, the oven just isn’t turning on in my house.
To keep things simple, seasonal and delicious, I roasted deliciously sweet plums until they were bursting and syrupy. They almost turn into jam, and they’re perfect for breakfast, snacks or dessert.
I was truly inspired by my love of grilled stone-fruits. But, because it was early in the morning and my husband was not going to light the grill for me to grill fruit, roasting was my compromise. And lordy it is SO good.
You can use any stone fruit here. In fact I planned on using peaches, but the grocery store supply was looking sad, so plums were the best option for me.
This recipe is so flexible. In fact, I’ve included some amazing alternatives to topping the Roasted Plums with Greek yogurt and honey. My favorites include: ice cream [duh!], ricotta and honey, or perhaps some shaved white chocolate and fresh whipped cream! They all sound so refreshing and highlight this summer fruit so perfectly.
- ½ tsp. coconut sugar or maple sugar per half
- Greek yogurt
- Honey
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the plum halves, inside side up, on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with the sugar. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until plum juice is bubbling out around the plum halves.
- Let the roasted plums cool slightly before topping. Dollop with Greek yogurt (use 2% or full fat) and drizzle with local honey. Enjoy!
- Try roasted plums served with vanilla ice cream, dolloped with ricotta and honey, or topped with shaved white chocolate and fresh whipped cream.

Good for you for not turning the oven on!! I always manage to need to bake something even though it’s 95 degrees outside. These roasted plums look amazing!
