Roasted Grapes & Figs with Camembert

The Coziest Fall Bites 🍷🍇🧀

Have you ever tried roasted figs? Or roasted grapes?

If not, let me introduce you to one of the dreamiest fall flavor combos out there. It’s like the essence of a rich, sweet red wine - warm, fruity and full of depth. And when you pair it with a creamy Camembert or Brie? Absolute flavor bomb. 🍁

🍇 Why Roast Fruit?

Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in fruit, deepens the flavor and creates a beautiful caramelized texture that’s basically irresistible. Figs become jammy and soft. Grapes burst with syrupy sweetness. Together, they create a sophisticated mix of tart and sweet, perfect for the cooler months.

🧀 The Cheese Pairing

Both Camembert and Brie are soft-ripened cheeses that melt ever so slightly when served warm. Their creamy, mild flavor is the perfect contrast to the juicy, roasted fruit. And if you serve everything together fresh out of the oven? The cheese starts to melt just a little bit... and every bite feels luxurious.

🥖 How to Serve It

You don’t need much. Just:

• A baking dish

• Fresh figs and grapes

• A drizzle of olive oil or honey

• A small Camembert or Brie round

• Optional: fresh thyme or rosemary

• Crusty bread or crackers on the side

Simply roast the fruit in the oven until soft and caramelized, then plate it up with the cheese and dig in. For an even better experience, slice the top rind of your cheese, drizzle with honey and also place in the oven for a few minutes. This combination will blow your mind.

✨ The Vibe

It’s cozy, it’s elegant, and it looks way more impressive than it actually is. Perfect for fall gatherings, wine nights, or a fancy-feeling solo snack moment. Add a glass of red wine and you’ve basically recreated the feeling of an autumn picnic in the vineyards.

Let me know if you try it and don’t forget to tag me if you share your version. I’d love to see how you serve yours!

Serving fall on a plate - one fig at a time.
