Roasted Plum Toasts with Whipped Coconut Yogurt

Jump to Recipe

This vegan hors d’oeuvre is a great way to show off the beauty of late summer plums. Sweet roasted plums are tender, juicy, and delicious paired with a tangy whipped coconut yogurt on a slice of crusty bread. Serve these roasted plum toasts next time you’re looking for an easy vegan appetizer.

Why make this recipe?

  • It’s vegan friendly but appealing to everyone.
  • It uses seasonal ingredients- plums are plentiful and affordable at the end of summer.
  • It’s flexible- use another stone fruit or even a berry if you’re not feeling the plums.
  • It’s easy but elevated- perfect for serving up for friends or treating yourself to something a little fancier than usual.

Ingredients:

This easy vegan appetizer recipe requires only 10 simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • fresh ripe plums
  • maple syrup or brown sugar
  • cardamom
  • coconut yogurt
  • tahini
  • lemon juice
  • vanilla
  • bread
  • mint
  • pistachios

How to make roasted plum toasts:

This recipe couldn’t be simpler. Slice up your plums and toss them with maple syrup, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Let them cook until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the plums are roasting, whip up your whipped coconut yogurt and set it aside while you toast your bread and prepare your garnishes.

Generously spread whipped coconut yogurt over each piece of toasted bread. Add some roasted plums to each piece along with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios and mint leaves.

Serve right away and keep the leftover components separate.

I think you’ll love this simple but beautiful little recipe. It’s such a lovely way to show off seasonal fruits and play with texture. If you’re joining friends for drinks and snacks, it would be super easy to put together at the last minute if you’re looking for something a little different than the usual chips and dip.

My Vanilla Fig Vodka Fizz cocktail would be such an amazing pairing with these toasts if you’re looking for another late summer, early fall recipe for a get-together. Cheers!

Ingredients

Scale

For the roasted plums:

  • 4 ripe but firm red or black plums, pitted and sliced
  • 1–3 tbsp sweetener of choice (I used a little maple a syrup and a little brown sugar)
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom or 3 crushed cardamom pods
  • pinch of salt
  • splash of balsamic vinegar, optional

For the whipped coconut yogurt:

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt 
  • 2 tbsp runny tahini
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • pinch of salt

To assemble your toasts:

  • 1 baguette or other bread of choice
  • mint leaves to garnish
  • chopped pistachios to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, toss together your sliced plums, syrup or sugar, cardamom, salt, and optional balsamic vinegar.  Cook for 20-30 minutes until the plums are very tender and the juices are bubbly, but be careful not to let the juices burn or the plums become too mushy.
  2. Meanwhile, in a food processor or with an immersion blender in a large mason jar, whip together the coconut yogurt, tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, cardamom, and salt. Transfer to a small bowl and put in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use.
  3. Slice and toast your bread.
  4. When the plums are finished roasting, let them cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Spread each slice of bread liberally with the whipped coconut yogurt, then place several slices of plum on top, followed by chopped pistachios and mint leaves. Add a touch of flaked salt if desired and serve right away.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
