3. How to Make Honey Roasted Peaches
Preparing the Peaches
Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Halve and remove the pits carefully. If desired, you can peel the peaches, but it’s not necessary for this simple peach recipe. Arrange the peach halves in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Applying the Honey Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of each peach half, ensuring they are well coated for maximum sweetness and flavor.
Roasting the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and roast the peaches for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Check periodically to prevent overbaking. For a quicker option, you can use an Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Honey Roasted Peaches
If you happen to have leftovers, store the roasted peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best texture and flavor, reheat gently in the microwave or in the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for a refreshing twist.
5. Serving Suggestions for Honey Roasted Peaches
This clean eating dessert is incredibly versatile. Serve the warm peaches topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of granola for added crunch. For a more decadent presentation, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Pair it with a light berry smoothie for a refreshing summer combo or complement it with a summer fruit salad.
6. Tips for Making the Perfect Honey Roasted Peaches
Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. Adjust the honey quantity to suit your sweetness preference. For added spice, sprinkle a little nutmeg or cardamom before roasting. Using a high-quality nonstick cookware set makes the process even easier and ensures no sticking or mess.
