When it comes to party appetizers, hand-held bites will always reign supreme. Just a little snack while you mix and mingle, ideally one that doesn’t require utensils. And these Roasted Grape Skewers fit the bill perfectly. The combination of flaky puff pastry, juicy grapes, fragrant rosemary, and savory parmesan is absolute perfection. They’re easy, they’re classy, and they’re sure to be a hit on any occasion. If you’re looking to elevate your appetizer game, give this recipe a go!



To start, make sure to soak your wooden skewers in water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning in the oven. Next, unroll your thawed puff pastry sheets on a large cutting board and give them a generous brush of olive oil. Sprinkle on the rosemary, parmesan, and sea salt, and use a rolling pin to press the toppings into the dough. Flip the dough and repeat the process to ensure both sides are well-seasoned.


Now, it’s time to assemble your skewers. Slice the puff pastry into strips about an inch thick. Skewer the end of a dough strip, add a grape, and fold the dough around the grape before skewering again. Continue this process until you reach the end of the dough. Place your completed skewers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have a bit of space between them to puff up nicely. Pop them in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is nice and golden.

For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of honey or balsamic glaze over the top of your warm skewers. Serve these Roasted Grape Skewers warm and watch as they disappear! Whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner party or a casual get-together, these skewers are the perfect appetizer to impress your guest!
