Equipment
- Nonstick frying pan
Ingredients
- 4 fresh, ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or substitute your preferred oil)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Wash and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pit (an easy way to do this is to run a paring knife all the way around the peach, then gently pull apart the two halves. Then use your fingers to remove the pit).
- Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and nutmeg to a large nonstick frying pan and place it on the stove set to medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form.
- Add the peaches, cut side down, to the pan (you can use tongs to do this to avoid burning your fingers).
- Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the peaches are golden brown with some darker brown areas.
- Flip the peaches and continue to cook the other side for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and enjoy.
Notes
- These caramelized peaches are delicious served at any temperature, so you can either serve them right away or save them for later.
- Enjoy these peaches on their own or use them as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
