Ingredients

1 lemon, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds mixed small tomatoes, such as Sun Gold, cherry, or heirloom, halved
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsely leaves with tender stems
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn if large
1/4 cup purple sprouts or microgreens (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °. Cook lemon slices in a medium saucepan of boiling water 2 minutes to remove bitterness. Drain and pat dry.
Gently toss lemon slices with sage, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until lemons are no longer wet and only slightly colored, 15 –20 minutes. Let cool.
Whisk pomegranate molasses, allspice, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add lemons, tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, and sprouts, if using, and toss gently; season with salt and pepper.
