These Roasted Grapes are a sweet, sophisticated treat to add to your next charcuterie board.  They are tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper before getting roasted until they are caramelized on the outside and full of flavor on the inside.

Recipe Inspiration

If you are looking for a sweet addition to add to your meat and cheese platter, these grapes are perfect!  When they are roasted, they develop a less tart but intense grape flavor that is quite yummy.

These are prefect to grab a handful and pop into your mouth as a snack too!  They taste like grape jelly and just feel like such a special treat! I also love putting these on a cheese board, or top them with balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme and serve with bread.

The natural sweetness of the grapes is a perfect accompaniment to savory olive oil. You'll love this unique combination!
