Roasted Peaches with Vanilla and Raspberries
Description
This recipe gently roasts halved yellow peaches that have been brushed with a blend of lemon juice, sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Roasting caramelizes the sugar and softens the peaches, creating a warm, juicy dessert with softly textured fruit. The vanilla and lemon provide aromatic and bright notes, enhancing the natural peach flavor. Fresh raspberries are added as a garnish, providing a tart contrast to the sweetness.
Peaches are roasted skin-side down first, then turned and brushed with pan juices to intensify the flavor and prevent drying out. The result is a tender, buttery fruit with a delicate vanilla finish. This dish is simple yet elegant for a light dessert or breakfast topping.
Serving it warm lets you enjoy the comforting fusion of textures and flavors. The recipe also suggests various garnishes such as other fresh berries or nuts to add crunch and complementary flavors. Vegan vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream can be added for extra indulgence.
Ingredients
- 4 yellow peach large, halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp lemon fresh-squeezed juice
- 2 tbsp vegan butter melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the lemon juice, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in a baking dish. Brush the peach halves with the mixture and lay the peaches, cut-side down on a baking pan.

Notes
- Top with vegan vanilla ice cream for a contrasting cool and creamy addition that complements the warm peaches.
- Feel free to use other fresh berries like blueberries, cherries, or strawberries as alternative garnishes.
