Roasted Peaches with Pine Nut Sauce

I love roasted peaches, especially when their deliciously caramelized flesh is drizzed with a sweet pine nut sauce. If you don’t have peaches on hand, swap in nectarines or large plums.

Roasted Peaches with Pine Nut Sauce

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1/4 cup vegan butter

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup maple syrup, divided

6 peaches, halved, pitted

1 cup pine nuts

Pinch of salt

Apple juice for consistency

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together butter, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Microwave for 30 to 60 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir well.

Place peaches cut side up in a baking dish. Brush with butter mixture.

Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until peaches are lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine pine nuts, maple syrup, and salt. Process to form a thick paste. Add apple juice 2 tablespoons at a time until you get a sauce with drizzling consistency.
