Macadamia 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 fragrant blend of fresh ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon gets whisked together with honey and olive oil, then spooned over the fruit before roasting ā the result is deeply aromatic and just a little caramelized around the edges. Chopped raw almonds go in partway through, toasting up golden and adding a satisfying crunch against the tender, syrupy plum flesh. A finishing hit of lemon zest and a spoonful of the pan juices pull everything together beautifully. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, with no specialty nuts or hidden allergens to navigate ā just clean, whole-food components doing exactly what they should. Serve these warm alongside yogurt or vanilla ice cream, or let them cool and spoon them over oatmeal the next morning.
