Ingredients

• 3 cups seedless red or black grapes
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup granola
• 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Rinse and thoroughly dry the grapes, then spread them in a single layer.
2. 2Drizzle the grapes with honey, sprinkle with thyme leaves, lemon zest, and flaky sea salt, then toss gently with clean hands so every grape is lightly coated.
3. 3Roast until the grapes soften, skins wrinkle slightly, and juices begin to caramelize and bubble, about 18 to 22 minutes. The kitchen should smell sweet and herbal.
4. 4Remove the pan and immediately splash the hot grapes with lemon juice so the bright acid lifts the honey. Let the roasted grapes cool to warm room temperature, about 15 minutes; reserve any syrupy pan juices.
5. 5Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the Greek yogurt until the mixture is cloud-like and lightly sweet.
6. 6Spoon a layer of the yogurt cream into the bottom of four parfait glasses or small jars. Add a spoonful of granola for crunch.
7. 7Top with a generous spoonful of the warm honey-roasted grapes and a drizzle of their pan juices. Repeat the layers once more, finishing with grapes.
8. 8Scatter toasted sliced almonds over the top and add a final tiny pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately so the granola stays crisp against the cool cream and warm fruit.
9. 9If making ahead, keep components separate and assemble just before serving to preserve texture contrast.
