TIPS
These tips should be followed for the preparation of Honey Roasted Peaches:
- Use Ripe But Firm Peaches: Overripe peaches may become too soft during baking, while underripe ones may lack sweetness.
- Enhance Caramelisation: For a deeper caramelised flavour, broil the peaches for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dish, drizzle with extra honey before serving.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute Greek yoghurt with coconut or almond yoghurt for a plant-based alternative.
- Serve Warm Or Chilled: Roasted peaches taste delicious when warm and cold, making them a versatile dish for any season.
VARIATIONS
- Nutty Delight: Sprinkle toasted almonds, pecans or walnuts over the yoghurt for added crunch.
- Spiced Peaches: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg before roasting for extra warmth.
- Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle with balsamic reduction instead of honey for a tangy-sweet contrast.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Melt dark chocolate and lightly drizzle over the roasted peaches for a decadent twist.
- Granola Topping: Serve with granola for a heartier breakfast option.

- Refrigeration: Store leftover roasted peaches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Freezing: Freeze roasted peaches in a sealed container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
