A simple, fresh, and healthy dessert featuring roasted apricots glazed with honey, served with creamy Greek yogurt and crunchy pistachios. Perfect for a quick, light dessert or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 medium fresh apricots, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw, local preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1/4 cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the apricots, removing the pits. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, and optional cinnamon.
  4. Toss the apricot halves gently in the honey glaze until evenly coated.
  5. Place apricots cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  6. Roast apricots in the oven for 15-18 minutes until tender and honey glaze bubbles and caramelizes slightly.
  7. While apricots roast, stir lemon zest into the Greek yogurt and set aside.
  8. Roughly chop pistachios; optionally toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Once apricots are slightly cooled, arrange them on serving plates and spoon dollops of lemon-zested Greek yogurt alongside or on top.
  10. Sprinkle chopped pistachios and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the dish.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use ripe but firm apricots to avoid mushiness. If honey is thick, warm slightly before mixing. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper caramelization. Toast pistachios separately for deeper flavor but add after roasting to keep crunch. Full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt preferred for creaminess. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt for vegan option. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
