Caffeine Free Cinnamon-Walnut Roasted Pineapple with Cashews
Roasted pineapple is one of those desserts that feels far more impressive than the effort it actually takes. The natural sugars in the fruit caramelize beautifully in a hot oven, and a warm glaze of coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric takes things to a whole other level of cozy, fragrant goodness. Walnuts and cashews get scattered over the rings partway through roasting, picking up a toasty crunch that plays perfectly against the juicy, golden fruit. A final hit of fresh lime juice brightens everything up, and torn mint leaves add a cool, fresh finish if you want to go the extra mile. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine — no chocolate, no tea extracts, no hidden additives to second-guess. It works just as well as a weeknight treat as it does as a dinner party showstopper, and the whole thing comes together on a single sheet pan.
