I’m not sure why- but for some reason, I’ve never thought to roast fruit. Grill it? Yes.

Roast?

Veggies only, duh.

Except, now I know how much I’ve been missing. Roasted apples are—stop it. Too good. What?! Who knew.

A little kitchen experimento, gone right this week. Too right, because now I can’t stop putting them on everything- smoothies, salads, or just straight up snacks. Try it!
