How to Make Maple Roasted Cantaloupe
Transforming cantaloupe into a sweet treat is a quick and easy three-ingredient recipe. All you need to do is place cut up pieces of cantaloupe on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Toss the cantaloupe pieces with maple syrup and vanilla extract and bake. Adding maple syrup gives the melon an almost caramelized coating and the vanilla helps to amp up the flavours of maple syrup, making it sweeter and richer.
After 20 minutes in the oven, you have a healthy, sweet treat. When you take a bite, each piece is so soft it almost melts in your mouth. Yum!
You deserve six weeks of easy dinners. Making meals with less ingredients can add up to big savings. So you can make tasty, affordable meals that also help you spend less time in the kitchen.
Maple Roasted Cantaloupe Makes A Tasty Breakfast and Dessert
When Maple Roasted Cantaloupe is warm and fresh out the oven, it is amazing. On its own, it’s a healthy treat that you can definitely feel good about. But it’s also a great topping for other delicious foods like yogurt or ice cream.

I added a bit of cinnamon and it was delicious. I also found 10 minutes to be plenty of time for me.
Jessica
Yum, cinnamon is always so good!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it.
Joan
Best cantaloupe ever! This made my favorite fruit even better.
Jessica
Thanks, Joan! Cantaloupe is such a tasty fruit.
Mary
With a ripe cantaloupe it’s delicious with or without maple syrup. With a melon that “just misses” its sweet spot, the syrup (or a little brown sugar) makes it perfect. Thank you!
Jessica
So happy that you enjoy it!! There’s nothing like delicious cantaloupe.
Donna
Maple and cantaloupe! I have to try this.
Jessica
Thanks Donna!! Enjoy! :)
Sheila Moss
This sounds delicious. Do you know if a sugar-free maple syrup would work? Or would it taste okay without using syrup?
Jessica
Thanks Sheila! I haven’t tried it with sugar-free maple syrup, but I’m sure it would be delicious. Without any maple syrup, it would still be tasty, just not as sweet. Let me know how it turns out! :)
Natalie
I was just looking at your Maple Roasted Cantaloupe recipe. What a great idea! Perfect for a summer BBQ.
Jessica
Thanks Natalie! Hope you enjoy it all summer long! :)

I’m definitely going to try this – I think cantaloupe may be in season (or at least on sale locally) and it’s rather boring and plain raw. This sounds fantastic!
Jessica
Thanks! Cantaloupes are great this time of year and they just get better in the summertime. Hope you enjoy it! :)
