Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 large yellow peaches, halved and pitted
Vanilla Sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Garnish
- A handful of fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the peaches at a high temperature.
- Prepare Sauce: In a baking dish, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract to create a flavorful basting sauce.
- Brush Peaches: Using a brush, coat the cut side of each peach half with the prepared sauce to infuse them with flavor and prevent drying out during roasting.
- Arrange Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on a baking pan, ensuring they are spaced evenly for proper roasting.
- Roast Peaches Initial: Bake the peaches for 8 minutes to start softening and caramelizing the fruit.
- Baste Peaches: After 8 minutes, brush the peach tops with the remaining sauce in the baking dish to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Final Roast: Continue baking the peaches for an additional 12 minutes to achieve a tender, golden finish.
- Serve: Serve the roasted peaches warm, drizzled with the pan sauce and garnished generously with fresh raspberries for a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
- A generous scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top will elevate this dessert, complementing the warm, sweet roasted peaches with cool, creamy texture.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings like blueberries, cherries, and strawberries as delightful alternatives to raspberries.
- Try topping with coconut whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy contrast.
- For added texture and flavor, garnish with chopped walnuts, almonds, or toasted pecans to introduce a pleasant crunch.
