Main Ingredients
- 4 large yellow peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- A handful of fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the peaches.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a baking dish, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well to create a flavorful glaze.
- Brush Peaches: Using a brush, coat the cut sides of the peach halves generously with the prepared mixture. Place the peaches cut-side down on a baking pan.
- Initial Bake: Bake the peaches for 8 minutes to let them start softening and caramelizing.
- Brush and Continue Baking: Remove the pan from the oven and brush the tops of the peaches with the remaining juice and glaze in the baking dish. Return peaches to the oven and bake for another 12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
- Serve: Serve the roasted peaches warm, drizzled with the sauce from the pan and garnished with fresh raspberries for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Add a generous scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top to elevate the flavors with a creamy contrast to the warm peaches.
- Feel free to experiment with additional garnishes such as blueberries, cherries, or strawberries for complementary fruity notes.
- For extra richness and texture, top with coconut whipped cream or Greek yogurt as an alternative creamy addition.
- Incorporate some crunch by sprinkling toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans over the peaches before serving.
