A dessert is healthy when it’s fruit, right? How else do you get in all the fruits they recommend you eat per day? These Sugar & Spice Plums are a great way to ensure you hit those fruit goals, healthy or not. There I said it, just because something is vegan doesn’t mean it is healthy. But to me healthy can be all things as long as you do it with moderation and balance. And let’s be honest, a juicy, ripe plum is great all on it’s own, but… roasted with a little sugar and spice? Well you know wat they say, it makes everything nice!
In all seriousness, these Sugar & Spice Plums are so easy to make. Turn on the oven, cut the plum in half, sprinkle with sugar & spice & cook. It’s mistake proof! Now these plums can be served all on their own & be simply delicious. If you want to take it up a notch (which I highly recommend) add a scoop of ice cream, some sliced almonds, added pinch of spices & then spoon over some of the juices from the plums. It’s so good!
