Start by selecting the right peaches for the job! They must be ripe and juicy but firm enough not to fall apart when you cut + bake them.
Ingredients for 6 servings:
- 3 ripe peaches halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds for
- garnishing
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Using a baking dish lined with parchment paper, lay your peaches cut side up leaving a little room between each.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the oil, honey, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Spoon the mixture over the peaches, filling the center and letting the excess run over the sides.
3. Bake your peaches uncovered until they are cooked through and fork-tender. This should take about 25-30 minutes and it might vary based on the size and ripeness of your peaches.
4. Serve warm topping with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and garnish with almonds or pistachio as you prefer. You can store your peaches cut side up in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days, and the same goes for your filling/topping. To reheat, place your peaches in a baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes
