How do I get the plum slices thin enough for rolling?

To achieve very thin plum slices, ensure you use a sharp knife and carefully cut the halved and pitted plums. This allows them to be pliable enough to roll into the rose shape.

Can I use regular puff pastry instead of vegan?

This recipe specifically calls for vegan puff pastry to ensure it remains plant-based. You can follow the linked recipe on One Green Planet to make a palm oil-free version, or use a store-bought vegan brand.

What's the best way to form the plum roses?

Arrange the thin plum slices slightly overlapping on the puff pastry stripes, leaving about a centimeter at one end. Dab a little water on the pastry end, then carefully roll them up and press the ends to seal.

What gives these plum roses their crispy, sweet glaze?

The crispy, sweet finish comes from a melted vegan butter glaze mixed with cinnamon and powdered sugar. This mixture is brushed onto the plum roses before baking, creating a delicious caramelized crust.

How should I store and reheat leftover Crispy Plum Roses?

Store any leftover plum roses in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, or in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds to restore some crispness.

How to Prepare Crispy Plum Roses [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 390°F.
Wash and halve the plums. Remove the pits and cut into very thin slices with a sharp knife.
Cut puff pastry into 3/4-inch wide and 8-inch long stripes.
Place the plum slices slightly overlapping on the stripes while leaving out the last centimeter and sprinkle with vanilla sugar.
With a brush, dab a little bit of water on the pastry ends, carefully roll them up and press on the ends. Set them on a lined baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small pot, then stir in cinnamon and powdered sugar. With a brush apply on the plum roses.
Bake for about 20 minutes until slightly golden. Serve.
