Kitchen notes, swaps & the story
Hey Veginners! Cherry season is in full swing, and it's got me reminiscing about those classic peanut butter and jelly days. But, why not give that old-school favorite a fresh twist? Enter: Roasted Cherry Almond Butter Toast.
It's like the grown-up, chic cousin of the PB&J. Healthier, a tad fancy, and oh-so-perfect for this time of the year. It feels just right to shake things up a bit and indulge in a treat that's both modern and reminiscent of simpler times.
And if you're wondering what else to make with that HUGE bag of cherries you got from the market, you will love my Quick & Creamy Cherry Sorbet!
- Enjoy this colorful and nutritious twist on the classic PB&J!
Air Fryer Method:
You can also roast the cherries in your air fryer! To do so, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the oiled and salted cherries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them for about 6-8 minutes or until they're soft and juicy, giving the basket a little shake halfway through to ensure even roasting. Remember, air fryers can vary in their cooking times, so keep a close eye on your cherries to prevent them from overcooking. This is the air fryer I use and love.
Alright, my fellow Veginners, that's a wrap for today! Playing around with cherished classics like the PB&J, and giving them a contemporary spin, just reminds me of how food evolves with us.
This Roasted Cherry Almond Butter Toast? It's a blend of memories and the present, and it perfectly captures the essence of cherry season.
Whether you're roasting in the oven or trying out the air fryer method, I promise this will become a seasonal favorite. Here's to reimagining old favorites and cherishing the cherry vibes! 🍒🍞 Cheers!
