Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Step 2

    Cut off and discard the tops and bottoms of the persimmons. Peel the persimmons, if you like. Cut the persimmons into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  3. Step 3

    For easier clean-up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper . Lay the persimmon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and drizzle with about half the oil. Turn over the slices and drizzle with the remaining oil.
  4. Step 4

    Roast the persimmon slices until soft and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. How long they take to roast depends on how ripe they are; look for tender persimmon slices with browning edges.
  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the persimmon slices with salt to taste . You can grate a bit (about 1/4 teaspoon total) of lime and/or lemon and/or orange zest over them if you like.
  6. Step 6

    Serve and enjoy.
