Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 large yellow peaches, halved and pitted
Glaze
- 2 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Garnish
- A handful of fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the peaches.
- Prepare Glaze: In a baking dish, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar begins to dissolve and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Brush Peaches: Using a brush, coat the cut sides of the peach halves generously with the lemon-vanilla glaze mixture.
- Arrange Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on a baking pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased for easy removal.
- First Bake: Bake the peaches in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start softening and caramelizing their natural sugars.
- Brush Tops: Remove the pan and brush the tops of the peaches with the remaining juice and glaze mixture from the dish.
- Second Bake: Return the peaches to the oven and bake for an additional 12 minutes until tender and beautifully roasted.
- Serve: Serve the peaches warm, drizzled with the glaze sauce from the pan, and garnished with fresh raspberries for a burst of tartness and color.
Notes
- A generous scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top enhances the flavors and adds creamy contrast to the warm peaches.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings like blueberries, cherries, or strawberries, which complement the roasted peaches beautifully.
- For added richness, try topping with coconut whipped cream or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
- Adding toasted nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans provides a delightful crunch with every bite.
