What to Do With Roasted Grapes

How to Roast Grapes

Roasting grapes in the oven is very simple. All you need is a few simple ingredients, like red grapes, avocado oil, and salt, to make this delicious snack.

I tend to like to take my grapes off the vine since I use them in other recipes, but if you’re making them for snacking, you can leave the grapes on the vine for cooking.

The preparation for this technique is simple. All you have to do is toss your red grapes in a bowl with avocado oil or another high heat cooking oil and some salt.

Then, you spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven.

How Long to Cook Roasted Grapes

I typically roast grapes in the oven at 400-425F. If I’m only roasting grapes, I’ll stick to the higher temperature of 425F.

If I’m also cooking something else, like my sweet potato rounds, then I’ll lower the temperature to 400F depending on what I’m cooking. You want the grapes to burst in the oven ever so slightly, but I still like some of them to hold their shape, so you don’t want to overcook them.

The grapes are done when they just start to burst. Remove them from the oven and they’ll continue to blister a bit more as they cool.

How to Store Roasted Grapes

While I tend to serve the roasted grapes right away, you can also store them for future use up to 4 days. Just transfer to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator.

If you’re preparing a cheeseboard ahead of time, roasted grapes are a great option to make ahead to serve alongside your meats and cheeses.
