Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Start by washing the peaches thoroughly under cold water. Halve each peach and remove the pits. For easier handling, you can slightly score the flesh with a knife.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice until smooth. This flavorful mixture will serve as your glaze to enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the peach halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush generously with the honey mixture. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and caramelized around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
Notes
- Make sure peaches are ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or fresh mint for added texture.
- Take care not to over-roast to prevent the peaches from becoming too soft.
