Gluten Free Ginger-Cardamom Baked Plums with Almonds
Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that feel far more impressive than the effort involved. A honey and olive oil glaze spiked with fresh ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon caramelizes beautifully around the fruit as it roasts, filling your kitchen with an almost perfume-like spice. Scattered almonds go in partway through, toasting to a golden crunch that plays perfectly against the soft, syrupy plum flesh. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten ā no swaps, no substitutions, no second-guessing labels at the store. A finishing hit of lemon zest and a spoonful of those glossy pan juices pull the whole thing together with a brightness that makes it feel almost restaurant-worthy. Serve it as a dessert, a fancy brunch side, or honestly just eat it straight from the baking dish ā no judgment.
