- 1 pound red grapes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Cheese & Bread
- 4 ounces feta cheese

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the grapes.
- Prepare Grapes: In a baking dish, toss the red grapes with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated to infuse the grapes with flavor.
- Roast Grapes: Spread the grapes in a single layer and roast them in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they become soft and caramelized, releasing their natural sugars.

Notes
- You can substitute red grapes with green grapes for a different flavor profile.
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little honey over the grapes before roasting.
- Use a crusty baguette to provide a nice contrast in texture.
- Make sure not to over-roast the grapes to avoid them becoming mushy.
