Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by washing and halving each peach, removing the pits. Arrange them cut side up in a baking dish. Ensuring peaches are ripe guarantees maximum flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, vanilla extract (if using), ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to create a fragrant glaze.
- Pour the honey mixture evenly over the peaches. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until peaches are tender and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve warm, optionally topped with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
- For vegan options, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Peach texture and flavor are best with fresh peaches, but frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
