| contents | In the context of Palatini gravity, $F(R+X)$ models, with X the inflaton kinetic term, are characterized by the appealing property of generating asymptotically flat inflaton potentials, exactly like the more commonly studied Palatini $F(R)$ models, but without the complication of non-canonical inflaton kinetic terms in the Einstein frame. In this paper, we study the case of a Jordan frame potential which is positive and bounded, specifically, natural inflation. We compute the CMB observables and show that for a wide class of $F(R + X)$ theories, including the quadratic one, natural inflation is still viable. |
