Seed Oil Free Ginger-Cardamom Baked Plums with Almonds

Roasted stone fruit is one of those desserts that feels far more impressive than the effort involved, and this warm, spiced version delivers serious depth of flavor with just a handful of pantry staples. The plums turn jammy and caramelized in the oven, soaking up a fragrant glaze of honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon that smells absolutely incredible as it bakes. Extra virgin olive oil is the only fat here — a clean, single-ingredient choice that keeps this completely free of the refined and industrial seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought desserts and sauces. Roughly chopped raw almonds go in partway through roasting, toasting up golden and nutty right on top of the fruit so you get a little crunch in every bite. A final hit of lemon zest brightens the whole dish and keeps it from feeling too heavy. Serve these warm straight from the baking dish with a spoonful of the glossy pan juices pooled underneath — they're stunning on their own or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
