maple-roasted berry yogurt parfaits

prep: 10 MINUTES | cook: 20 MINUTES | total: 30 MINUTES | makes 8 PARFAITS

Our boys love yogurt and are always begging me to buy the fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts from the store, but I never do because they have too much sugar. Instead, I make them these parfaits at home, and they do the trick! Roasting the berries gives them a deeply sweet flavor, almost like jam but without having to babysit a pot. I like to use a blend of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries (though you could stick with whichever are your favorites) and give them a drizzle of maple syrup before roasting, which sends them over the top of fruity deliciousness—not unlike the store-bought version. Then I spoon over some tangy Greek yogurt, add a sprinkle of our Best-Ever Granola, and breakfast is served. I prep a bunch of parfaits in jars and store them in the fridge, which makes this a great meal or snack for grabbing on the way out the door.

1 cup raspberries

1 cup blueberries

1 cup blackberries

1 cup chopped strawberries

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

4 cups plain Greek yogurt

Best-Ever Granola (here, optional)

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2 Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange the raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries on the baking sheet and drizzle the maple syrup over the top. Give the berries a gentle toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes, until the berries are soft and juicy, then let the berries cool completely.

3 To assemble a parfait, spoon 2 tablespoons roasted berries in the bottom of an 8-ounce jar and top with a ½ cup yogurt. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 8 parfaits. Seal the jars with their lids and store them in the fridge for up to 1 week. When ready to eat, top the parfaits with a handful of granola, if desired.
