Vegan MoFo: Simplicity at it's best

Persimmons oh how I love you.  They almost look like little pumpkins what's not to love.  My local farmer's market has been selling Fuyu persimmons so I bought an entire bag.  Who wouldn't?  I'm hoping they stick around awhile so I have months of enjoyment ahead of me.



Fuyu's are crunchy like an apple.  You can eat these whole (skin and all) , chopped up in a salad, baked and dried.  I saw a recipe for baked persimmons using Fuyu's and decided to try it.




I used this recipe from Color Me Vegan.  The cinnamon was a wonderful addition.  I sliced these really thin and kept the "design" of the fruit while doing so.  These turned out moist and flavorful.  I didn't have yogurt on the side as I couldn't take the time to get the yogurt.  I just wanted to inhale them when they came out of the oven. I shared a few with co-workers who loved them.  This time it was hard to share as I loved them so.

Look at the gorgeous color

I will be making these again and again.  Can't wait to get more from the farmer's market.  They are beautiful aren't they?  What's your favorite way to eat persimmons?

  1. I love them and just tend to eat them whole or I put them in a smoothie. I've never seen crunchy ones in the UK.

  4. @ Tea and Sympatico I had only used the soft ones before. The crunchy version are newer to my world but boy are they good.

    @Mandee & Sarah If you try some let me know what you think
