Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or organic)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: a sprinkle of chopped nuts or fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing your peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half and remove the pits. If the peaches are very large, cut them into smaller slices for even roasting.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to create a fragrant glaze.
- Brush or drizzle the honey mixture over the cut sides of the peaches. This adds caramelization and enhances their natural sweetness.
- Arrange the peaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once roasted, transfer the peaches to serving plates. Garnish with chopped nuts or fresh mint if desired. Serve warm or chilled, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving, or enjoy cold as a refreshing snack.
- For vegan options, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Adding chopped nuts or fresh mint enhances flavor and presentation.
