Description

These honey roasted peaches are an easy, healthy dessert made with just five ingredients. Juicy peaches are baked with honey, coconut oil, vanilla, and cinnamon for a naturally sweet, gluten-free treat that’s perfect for summer or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

4 large fresh peaches (about 1.75 lbs), halved and pitted
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half, remove the pit, and arrange the halves cut-side up in a baking dish or on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
In a small bowl, combine honey, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Spoon or brush the honey mixture generously over each peach half, letting it seep into the cavity. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the tops.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, baste the peaches with the juices from the pan.
Peaches are done when soft but still holding their shape, with golden edges and bubbling syrup.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra pan juices over the peaches for maximum flavor.

Notes

Use just-ripe, slightly firm peaches for best results. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use coconut oil. Baste peaches halfway through roasting for extra caramelization. Serve warm with yogurt, ice cream, or granola. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
