Xanthan Gum 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, and this version is genuinely stunning. Fresh pineapple rings get coated in a warm spiced glaze of coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric before hitting a hot oven, where they caramelize into something deeply golden and fragrant. Walnuts and cashews are scattered over the top partway through roasting so they toast right alongside the fruit, adding crunch and richness to every bite. A final squeeze of lime juice brightens everything up and cuts through the sweetness in the best possible way. Every ingredient here is naturally whole and unprocessed, so there are no hidden additives or stabilizers to worry about — just real food doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Torn fresh mint on top is optional but highly recommended if you want that pop of color and cool contrast. This one works equally well as a dinner party dessert or a weekend treat you make just for yourself.
