Can I make Roasted Blueberry Toast ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare certain components of the recipe in advance. Roasted blueberries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also pre-whip the ricotta and store it in a separate container. Toast and assembly should be done fresh to maintain the best texture.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

While fresh blueberries are ideal for roasting, frozen blueberries can also be used in a pinch. However, frozen berries might release more liquid during roasting, so it's important to drain any excess moisture before assembling the toast.

How can I make this recipe vegan-friendly?

To make Roasted Blueberry Toast vegan, simply swap the whole milk ricotta with a plant-based ricotta or cream cheese alternative. Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the dish completely vegan.
