Ingredients
  

For the Peaches
  • 4 pieces Fresh Peaches Ripe peaches are crucial for achieving that sweet juiciness.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and aids in caramelization; coconut oil is a great vegan substitute.
For the Sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Enhances natural sweetness; feel free to swap with honey or maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder Adds a warm spice element; nutmeg or cloves can elevate the flavor.
For the Zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ginger Powder Gives a subtle zing; you can adjust or omit.
  • 1 pinch Salt A pinch balances the sweetness.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and drying the fresh peaches thoroughly. Carefully cut each peach in half vertically, removing the pit with a gentle twist.
  2. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm for about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, letting it melt completely.
  3. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Carefully place the peach halves, cut-side down, into the skillet filled with the buttery mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden-brown.
  5. Gently turn the peaches over using tongs, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the warm peaches to a serving plate.
