Beast Peaches for Roasting
For the tastiest roasted peaches, use ripe, fresh, slightly soft yellow peaches. Unripe peaches will be less juicy, a bit bland, and not as sweet. Also, the fruit should give you a fragrant smell. I usually take the fruits in my hand and squeeze them gently. It isn’t ready if it has a firm or hard feel to it. The exterior of a ripe peach should be dark yellow in color.

How to Make Roasted Peaches?
It’s very simple to execute and yields the most luscious caramelized sweetness; the roasted peaches transform into something truly incredible!
Step 1: First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit.
Step 2: Then, in a baking dish, combine the lemon juice, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Brush the mixture on the peach halves. To get a well-flavored dish, make sure they’re well coated. On a baking sheet, place the cut-side down. Bake for 8 minutes.
Step 3: Next, turn the peaches over and brush the tops with the remaining mixture. Allow to bake for another 7 to 12 minutes. This will add a layer of caramelized and roasted taste to the dish.
Step 4: Finally, serve warm with a drizzle of sauce from the pan and a handful of raspberries on top.

Variations and Add-Ins
- Ice Cream: A generous scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream (or banana ice cream!) on top will make this recipe even more exquisite. The combination of cool, silky smooth ice cream and warm, sweet, filling, and buttery soft roasted peaches is divine!
- Fruit: Consider blueberries, cherries, and strawberries, to name a few. These fruits really pair well with roasted peaches.
- Whipped Cream or Yogurt: Scoop a dollop of coconut whipped cream or a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top! Yum!
- Nuts: Like walnuts, almonds, or toasted pecans to give it a crunchy texture with each bite.
Storage Instructions
- Roasted Peaches. Peaches baked in the oven are also wonderful the next day! To store in the refrigerator, place your roasted peaches in an airtight container for four to five days. To reheat: microwave them cut side up in a bowl or on a plate for 30 seconds or more if necessary.
- Ripened Peaches. If you have a perfectly ripe peach on hand, but aren’t quite ready to use it, you can keep your peaches in the fridge in a loosely sealed plastic bag for up to 5 days. The cooler temperatures will slow down the fruit’s natural ripening process. Be aware though, the cool air will dehydrate the peaches and they may wrinkle, so try to consume them immediately.
- Unripe Peaches. If your peach isn’t quite ripe but you’re eager to eat it, place it in a sealed paper bag. When peaches are wrapped in a bag, the ethylene they release is contained as well, speeding up the ripening process. Peaches will be ready in 1 to 3 days. Otherwise, simply store them at room temperature and they should ripen in 3 to 5 days on their own.
