Roasted Grape Oatmeal
Description
The grapes are tossed with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and fresh rosemary sprigs, then roasted at a high temperature until blistered and bursting, intensifying their flavor and adding complexity. Simultaneously, steel-cut oats cook slowly in milk until tender, absorbing the creamy liquid and creating a rich, comforting texture.
Served together, the savory-sweet roasted grapes atop the smooth oats add bursts of flavor and aroma, balancing sweetness with herbal and tangy notes. This oatmeal offers a mix of textures—soft oats with juicy, roasted fruit.
Leftover grapes can be refrigerated and used within 3 to 4 days, while the oatmeal is best eaten fresh, as it does not store well. Using fruit-flavored balsamic vinegars like fig or blackberry can add an additional layer of flavor if available.
Ingredients
Roasted Grapes:
- 1 cup red grape taken off stem
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar See Recipe Notes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 rosemary sprigs, taken off stem
Oatmeal:
- ½ cup steel cut oats (Use gluten-free oats if needed)
- 1 ½ cups milk or milk substitute or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Toss grapes in balsamic, olive oil, salt, and rosemary. Spread onto baking sheet in single layer, and bake 25-30 minutes, until grapes begin to blister and burst.
- While grapes roast, bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Then, lower heat to medium and add oats. Simmer oats for about 25 minutes, stirring often.
- Divide oatmeal into 2 bowls and top with grapes.
- Leftovers: Oats do not keep well, but any leftover grapes could be refrigerated and used within 3-4 days.
Notes
- Fruit-flavored balsamic vinegars, such as fig or blackberry varieties, work well to enhance the roasted grapes’ taste.
- Leftover roasted grapes should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 3 to 4 days to maintain freshness.
