Preheat oven to 220\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>2. Place the grapes onto a baking tray (line with baking<br \/>\npaper if you prefer), scatter with the thyme leaves and<br \/>\ndrizzle with the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss<br \/>\nbriefly to coat. Roast them until they are starting to<br \/>\ncollapse, 10-12 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>3. Remove the tray from the oven and gently flip the<br \/>\ngrapes over. Add the block of feta, drizzle the feta with a<br \/>\nlittle olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.<br \/>\nReturn to the oven until the feta is soft and the grapes are<br \/>\nstarting to burst, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>4. The just-baked grapes will be hot, so allow to cool slightly<br \/>\nbefore placing on crackers or bread.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h1&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h1&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;600&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;332841&#8243;]Roasted Grapes &amp; Feta Cheese[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;161220&#8243;]If you would like to create a light, flavorful and satisfying snack or appetizer, this one will so do the trick. I think I found the recipe on the NYTimes and have not changed a thing nor see the need to do so.\u00a0 Except for the fact that I failed to pay attention to the notation of 220 degrees of the oven pre-heat was celsius and not fahrenheit; (the recipe is obviously european) and I had to fix that after wondering why it was taking so long to roast the grapes. In other words, you can&#8217;t mess this one up.\u00a0 It&#8217;s absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n<p>If you like Feta with watermelon and mint in the summer, this is a wonderful cold weather version. Delicious flavor contrasts of Feta&#8217;s salty, brine cheese sprinkled with thyme and melted with the warm sweet grapes.\u00a0 I used artisanal crackers and could easily see this with a warm bread.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-81229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilates4fitness.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2024-01-25-at-7.07.37-PM-300x175.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilates4fitness.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2024-01-25-at-7.07.37-PM-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pilates4fitness.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2024-01-25-at-7.07.37-PM-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pilates4fitness.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2024-01-25-at-7.07.37-PM-350x204.png 350w, https:\/\/www.pilates4fitness.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2024-01-25-at-7.07.37-PM.png 815w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>This was my first time eating roasted grapes.
