Roasted Plums With Tahini From The Happy Cook

This recipe is for those of you who like to deconstruct your desserts. You know who you are: you eat all the apples or peaches out of a perfectly good slice of pie and let the butter crust turn to crumbs. These pan sheet roasted plums come from our November Guest Editor, Daphne Oz and her new cookbook The Happy Cook. The simple fruit dish takes a surprising departure towards the savory - and it's kind of perfect.

Light and sophisticated, this pretty little dish requires fewer ingredients than most morning smoothies - and you probably have them in your kitchen already! If you're not feeling the roasted plums or they're out of season where you live, simply substitute with any winter fruit (pears, figs etc.) for a quick, clean and picture-perfect side dish...

This recipe was actually concocted on the spot by Frances Boswell, food-whisperer extraordinaire and the delicate hands that made every recipe in The Happy Cook look so lush and photo-ready. We had extra plums left over from the kale salad, so she threw them on a baking sheet in the oven and forgot about them… until the wafting smell of roasting fruit caught all of our attention. The savory quality of the herbed sweet-sour plums, plus this incredibly creamy tahini lemon dressing is unthinkably tasty. Plus, it’s a great way to use up fruit that is just about to turn.
