Cooking Instructions & How to Prepare

Featuring: Canoe Bones

What Are Canoe Bones?

Canoe bones are beef bones—usually from the femur, shank, or humerus—cut lengthwise (or cross‑cut) to expose the soft, fatty marrow inside. Roasted canoe marrow bones are rich, buttery, and easy to prepare — simply season, roast until bubbly, and scoop onto toast or bread for a gourmet appetizer.

Cooking Methods

1. Preheat oven
Set oven to 450–475°F (most recipes use 450°F; some go up to 475°F for a deeper brown).

2. Prepare bones
Place bones marrow‑side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Tip: If marrow leaks, prop bones with parchment/foil so the cavity stays intact.

3. Roast
Bake for 15–25 minutes depending on oven and bone size:

15–20 min at 450°F until marrow is bubbly and edges are lightly browned.
20–25 min at 400°F for gentler browning.
45–60 min at 475°F for a more caramelized, deep brown (less common).

4. Finish & serve
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then sprinkle with parsley, squeeze lemon juice, or add garlic for extra flavor.
Scoop marrow with a spoon onto toasted bread, crackers, or into soups, risottos, or compound butters.
