Ok so I think I may be getting a little lazy in my old age . . .

Seriously.

As I sit here typing up this post I may or may not be (← read totally and most certainly am) eating ice cream right out of the container because –

1 – I couldn’t be bother to get a bowl

2 – If I did get a bowl that would mean I would have 2 things to wash up . . . spoon I can manage, bowl and spoon . . . um yeah its not gonna happen

Lazy!

I may or may not have started (← read absolutely without question totally can’t stop) texting my husband in the next room because heaven forbid I peel myself out of my comfy spot on the couch to go and actually have a conversation with him.

I blame apple for the free iMessage service.

Laaaaazzzzzyyyyyyy!

This weeks recipe is a little lazy too, but I am so not sorry about it. It’s totally lazy but seriously ah-mazing!

I have been eyeing off all kinds of recipes that involve roasted blueberries for ever! Since I told you all about in insane blueberry craving and that incredible crumble instead of being satisfied my blueberry craving intensified.  Big time! I could think of nothing else, see even my thoughts are getting lazy!!

Roasted blueberries were happening, end. of. story.

Now, I could have gone on to make one of the many recipes I have pinned on pinterest that include these incredible berries – cupcakes with Jessica from How Sweet it is, Custard with Deb from Smitten Kitchen or the divine looking Blueberry and Ricotta Crostini with Maria, Josh and little Caleb at two peas and their pod.

But no . . . I couldn’t get past the simple roasted blueberries.  They are just so incredibly delicious  . . . my daughter and I may or may not have (← read totally and unashamedly did) eaten almost half of this first batch just with spoons . . . on the kitchen floor . . .

Lazy!

The rest we served on some of these left over banana, brown sugar and ricotta pancakes . . . incredible!

Blueberries in the raw are delicious enough but add a squeeze of lemon juice and roast those bad boys . . . I can’t even find the words to explain to you how unbelievable they are. Seriously . . .

Get yourself some blueberries and get a roasting. Totally worth it

Roasted Blueberries
Makes 2 cups

Ingredients –

2 cups Blueberries (I used 1 cup fresh and 1 cup frozen)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon.

Method –

Preheat oven to 175’C (350’F)

Line a rimmed baking sheet with baking/parchment paper. You don’t have to use the parchment/baking paper but I like to because 1 – easy clean up and 2 – I’m lazy.

Place blueberries on your baking sheet.

Squeeze the lemon juice over the berries and toss to make sure all those delicious blueberries are nicely coated.

Bake for 15-20 mins, shaking the tray occasionally.

Remove the blueberries from the oven when they are nice and plump and starting to release some juices, a few may have popped which is totally cool too.

Allow them to cool to room temperature and store in the fridge.

Or just eat them by the spoonful, either way your life will be richer for having these roasted blueberries in it.
