Roasted Grapes – Perfect for an Appetizer and Charcuterie

Share this...

Last Updated on June 5, 2024 by Leah Hall

Roasted grapes are a real treat, and perfect addition for a grape appetizer, dessert or a charcuterie board. Roasting grapes sweetens them and makes a great way to use them uniquely!

 

We first had roasted grapes at a downtown Omaha Restaurant. Both of us were struck at how simple yet elegant these baked grapes came out. When we ran across a bunch of beautiful concord grapes at the Omaha Farmer’s Market, of course adding them to a cheese board popped into our head. Make our Peanut Butter & Jelly Old Fashioned to go with it!

Grape Appetizer

The richly colored purple grapes had a fresh and wonderful aromatic scent when we baked them at high heat. The scent filled the kitchen and made us very excited to use these in various recipes. Roasting them made them tender and slightly sweeter, the flavors bright and aromatic from such simple ingredients.

This roasted grapes recipe is easy to do especially if you have extra grapes you need to use. You can use red grapes, Concord grapes or even green grapes. Just make sure they are seedless grapes for ease of use.

Toss the raw grapes in olive oil in a small bowl and add salt and black pepper. You can leave them on the vine like we did for effect, or individual grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet work too! Try baking our Citrus Asian Wings, or Sweet Potato Guacamole Bites also!

Feel free to add these roasted grapes to a charcuterie board or cheese plate, top some crostini with the grapes, serve on top of some ice cream, blend in a food processor and make roasted grape jam. Serve with crackers or toasted bread. The roasting made the grapes super tender and spreadable.

Tips & Tricks

  • Crostini or Crackers – top some toasted bread with the roasted grapes appetizer and some cheese. Some cheese suggestions could be cream cheese, whipped goat cheese, blue cheese or brie. Try our Amber Ale BBQ Crostini, Cherry Balsamic Crostini or Blackberry Goat Cheese Crostini.
  • Flavors – toss the grapes with other flavors too – try maple syrup, fresh thyme, brown sugar, lemon zest, and other savory herbs like basil, dill or oregano.

How do you deal with the seeds in the Concord grapes? Thank you for the marvelous idea!

I smeared them on bread and then just picked the seeds out before eating the bread. Our kiddos ate some and just spit them out, as indelicate as that sounds!
