Tips for Roasted Apple with Garlic and Herbs

• Look for apple wedges to turn golden brown and slightly softened but still holding their shape before removing from the oven.
• Use a silicone spatula or tongs to gently flip wedges halfway to avoid breaking them.
• Serve immediately for best flavor and texture; warmed apples lose some firmness if left too long.

Ingredient substitutions

• garlic powder: 1 small clove fresh garlic, minced
• olive oil: 1 teaspoon avocado oil or melted coconut oil
• dried oregano: dried thyme or rosemary in equal amount

Storage and reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well as they hold their shape during roasting.

Should I peel the apple before roasting?

No need to peel; the skin softens and adds texture and nutrients.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

You can prep the apples and seasoning in advance but roast just before serving for best texture.
