    🥘 Roasted Bone Marrow Ingredients

    You can pick up beef marrow bones from your local butcher! Ask for them to cut canoe-style for easier access to the marrow.

    • Beef Marrow Bones - 2-3 pounds of beef marrow bones that have been cut canoe style.
    • Pepper - ¼ tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
    • Salt - ½ tablespoon of sea salt, to taste.

    *Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

    🔪 How To Roast Bone Marrow

    This recipe requires minimal effort on your part! All you'll need is a baking sheet!

    Since it is hard to determine the amount of marrow in a bone, make sure you pick up extra bones so you have enough!

    1. Prepare. Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Season. Place your 3 pounds of canoe-cut marrow bones onto the baking sheet with the cut side facing up. Lightly season them with ¼ tablespoon of freshly ground pepper and ½ tablespoon of sea salt, adjusted to taste.
    3. Roast. Roast the bones at 450°F (230°C) for 25 minutes, or until the marrow begins to gently bubble.
    4. Serve. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a pinch of sea salt.

    Serve your roasted bone marrow on some rustic bread for a yummy appetizer! In fact, it will taste great on any of your favorite types of bread! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • If you are getting your bones from a butcher, make sure to ask for pieces that are cut from the center of the leg bone. This is where there is the most bone marrow!
    • The size of the bone does not directly relate to the amount of marrow inside. Make sure you buy extra bones to ensure you have enough!
    • Having your bones cut canoe-style makes it easier to get to the marrow. However, you can still enjoy your bone marrow even if they are cross-cut!

    🥡 Storing

    If you happen to have any marrow left over, you can remove it from the bone and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.

    These bones freeze amazingly well! Remove the cooked marrow from the bone and store it in an airtight container for a maximum of 3 months. Thaw overnight.

    Reheat small portions with little bursts in the microwave.

    ❓ FAQ

    Is Roasted Bone Marrow Good For You?

    Yep! Bone marrow is loaded with collagen to help your skin, hair, and bones as well as glucosamine which reduces inflammation.
    Additionally, it is packed with vitamins and can help control your blood sugar!

    What Does Roasted Bone Marrow Taste Like?

    It has a rich and decadent flavor that is semi-sweet and buttery! It is incredibly creamy in texture as well!

    Do You Have To Soak Bone Marrow Before Cooking?

    No, you don't have to if you have bones that are clean. It is an optional step. Soaking them helps to remove any residual blood or vessels that may still be present.
    To soak your bones, fill a large bowl with ice water and add 1 teaspoon of sea salt per cup of water. Place your marrow bones in the water and store them in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, making sure to change the water and salt every 4 hours.
