Spring and summer are my favorite seasons for many reasons. These seasons mean warmer weather, outside activities and fresh produce. Peaches are beginning to come into season, and I’ve started to experiment with new ways to use them. I love peach pie and peach cobbler, but wanted a healthier, lighter option. These honey roasted peaches have all the sweet and juicy flavor of peach desserts without calorie-filled crust or crumble topping.
I love to eat these peaches warm on yogurt, or ice cream if I want to indulge. They are also delicious on top of pancakes or granola or, yum, on crepes (seriously, drooling right now thinking about a great European-style crepe with these peaches rolled up inside). Ripe peaches work best, but if your peaches are still firm, the roasting process creates a soft texture and sweetness. I can’t wait to try this technique with other fruits like strawberries, pineapple or even apples.
What You’ll Need:
5-6 Peaches
1/3 cup Honey
2 Tbs. Melted butter
Dash of salt
ONE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the peaches and cut into halves. Remove the pit, and cut the halves into fourths. Place the peaches into a large mixing bowl. Add the honey and melted butter. Gently stir to fully coat the peaches in the honey and butter.
TWO: Transfer the peaches to a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the peaches lightly with salt. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. The peaches should be soft, and the honey should start to slightly thicken. Turn on the broiler to high, and allow the boiler to caramelize the peaches. This only takes a few minutes, so don’t walk away after turning on the broiler! Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Enjoy!
