Roasted Figs and Cherries Dessert Recipe [Paleo, AIP]

Summer fruits are always so delicious, but if you roast them in the oven, then they become even more delicious.  This easy Paleo and AIP dessert recipe features 3 different fruits (2 of which are glazed and roasted in the oven for a short time and 1 of which is served raw after the other fruits are roasted).

I also love the colors in this recipe – the deep red from the cherries, the faint red from the figs, and the golden yellow from the peaches. This dish is a really simple way to enjoy these fruits without too much work. Perfect if you’re on a Paleo or AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet.

Ingredients for Roasted Figs and Cherries Dessert Recipe

This simple dessert recipe uses 3 different fruits – figs, cherries, and peaches. The figs and cherries are roasted while the raw peaches are diced and served alongside the roasted fruits.

Step 1:

Cut off the ends of the figs and cut each fig in half.

Step 2:

Pour 1 tablespoon of port or red wine over the fig halves.  Omit this if you’re on AIP.

Step 3:

Use a paring knife to slice the cherries in half. Remove the stone.

Step 4:

Rub a dash of honey over the cherry halves.

Step 5:

Preheat the oven for 400F (200C). Place the cherry halves and the fig halves on a baking tray and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 6:

Meanwhile, dice the peach into small pieces.

Step 7:

Place on plate – drizzle an additional dash of port or red wine over the fruits.
