Easy yogurt bowls topped with seasonal roasted sweet cherries, made in less than 30 minutes! Enjoy for breakfast or as a snack or dessert. They take just 10 minutes of prep and then go straight into the oven.
Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pit the cherries and slice each one in half.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cherries, lime juice, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and oil. Mix well.
Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a bowl.
Assemble yogurt bowls. Serve cherries warm over yogurt with granola and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy immediately.
Store leftover roasted cherries in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Use fresh cherries. I recommend using Northwest-grown cherries. They’re fresh, juicy, seasonal, and delicious. I don’t recommend using
Lime juice: The cherries are naturally sweet so the lime juice will balance that delicious deep flavor. If you don’t have any lime juice on hand, lemon juice works just as well.
Sweetener: While the recipe calls for cane sugar, you can also use honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
Granola: You can use homemade or store-bought granola. If you don’t have granola, chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts, will taste great too.
Yogurt: While the recipe calls for plain Greek yogurt, you can use any kind of yogurt, including non-dairy yogurt, based on your dietary preference. Use vanilla-flavored yogurt for added sweetness.
