Honey and thyme roasted pomelos

Five minutes of prep, and the oven does the rest.

  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 12 minutes

Pomelo loves heat. In the oven, its juice caramelizes with the honey while the edges turn beautifully golden, revealing an unexpected sweetness. Fresh thyme tempers the brightness of the citrus, and a pinch of Espelette pepper (optional) adds that little twist you won't forget. Serve hot, with vanilla ice cream or alongside roasted poultry.
