Drizzle and sprinkle these ingredients over the plums, making sure each half gets some love.
Roast Plums

Frequently Asked Questions About Roasted Plum Yogurt Bowl
Can I use different types of plums?
Absolutely! Any ripe plum works great – red, purple, or even black plums will roast beautifully and taste delicious.
Do the plums need to be perfectly ripe?
Choose plums that are slightly soft when gently squeezed. Overripe plums can turn mushy during roasting, while underripe plums might stay too firm.
What if I don’t have coconut sugar?
Regular brown sugar or maple syrup make excellent substitutes and will help caramelize your plums perfectly.
Are balsamic glaze and balsamic reduction the same thing?
Yes! These terms are interchangeable and both will add a wonderful sweet-tangy finish to your yogurt bowl.
Can this be prepared ahead of time?
Roast the plums earlier in the day and warm them slightly before serving to keep the flavors fresh and vibrant.
Is Greek yogurt necessary?
While Greek yogurt provides a thick, creamy base, regular plain yogurt works fine if that’s what you have on hand.
