Ingredients

Scale

Peaches

  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted

Honey Spice Glaze

  • 1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). You’ll want it fully heated so the peaches cook evenly and caramelize beautifully.
  2. Mix the Honey Spice Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the raw honey (or maple syrup), vanilla bean seeds, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt. The mixture will be thick and aromatic, reminiscent of warm fall spices.
  3. Prep the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them snugly. This arrangement helps the juices stay close and infuse flavor during roasting.
  4. Coat with the Glaze: Spoon the honey and spice mixture evenly over each peach half, letting it pool in the hollow where the pits were. As they bake, the glaze will mingle with peach juices forming a rich, sticky syrup.
  5. Roast Until Tender: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the peaches are soft, golden at the edges, and their natural sugars caramelize to create a lovely golden hue and syrupy glaze.
  6. Serve with Love: Serve the peaches warm, spooning some of the pan juices over them. Optionally add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream and finish with crunchy granola or toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold shape during roasting.
  • You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Adding vanilla bean seeds enhances the aroma but vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
  • Serve warm immediately for best flavor and texture.
  • Great option for a naturally sweet dessert free from refined sugars.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
