Ingredients
- 4 large ripe persimmons
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the persimmons. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, removing any seeds as you slice.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to create the spice mixture.
Step 4
Add the persimmon slices to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat the slices evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until melted, then drizzle it over the coated persimmon slices and gently toss again to combine.
Step 6
Arrange the persimmon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the persimmon slices begin to caramelize and become tender. Check at the 12-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the slices to cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy snack or side dish.
