Roasted Grapes

Impress your dinner guests with this simple recipe. Greg and I regularly make this for ourselves, but we also made them this weekend while our friends Clark and Jessie were visiting! This is a wonderful appetizer, and it would also serve nicely at a wine and cheese party.

Roasted Grapes

What you will need:

Seedless grapes, washed
Olive oil
Blue cheese (creamy, not crumbly)
French bread, thinly sliced (or sometimes we use day-old rustic loaf bread)

To prepare:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Toss the grapes lightly in olive oil.

Arrange grapes in a single layer in a pan or on a roasting sheet. For 2-4 people, I would recommend an 8x8 pyrex dish.

Roast grapes for 20 minutes.

To enjoy:

Smear blue cheese on a piece of bread and top with a few roasted grapes.

This would also make a nice warm salad on a bed of arugula or chard with toasted walnuts!
