INGREDIENTS YOU NEED
For the Peaches
- 6 fresh, very ripe peaches - halved and pitted
- 6 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted - cut into 12 small pieces
For Serving
- 2 scoops vanilla gelato / or Greek yogurt / or whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
LET’S COOK IT
Step 1 - Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C
Step 2 - Prepare the Peaches
- Wash the peaches under cold water, cut in half and remove the stone
- Transfer the peaches, cut side up, to a baking sheet pan lined with aluminum foil
- Spoon ½ teaspoon brown sugar in the center of the peaches and place a small piece of butter on top of the brown sugar
- Place peaches in the oven and bake uncovered in mid shelf position until the peaches are nicely roasted and fork tender, about 10 min
- Remove from the oven and let cool
- Keep the peach roasting liquid; which is left underneath the peaches on the aluminum foil
Step 3 - Serve the Peaches
- Transfer the warm roasted peaches onto a serving plate
- Spoon the roasting liquid on top of peaches
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla gelato, (or Greek yogurt or whipped cream) on the side
Tip - Top the peaches with one small round of fresh black pepper from the mill (adults only) and sprinkle with a little Maldon Sea Salt flakes. This will give this dessert an extra kick. Enjoy…
