Ingredients
- Fresh white flat peaches, any quantity Also called "donut peaches"
- olive oil
- pinch of salt
- honey
Instructions
- This is more a "throw together" dish than an actual recipe, but I'll write out the instructions anyway. You can use any quantity of flat peaches. Flat peaches (also called donut peaches) are white, and less acidic than yellow peaches. Flat peaches also have less fuzz on the skin, and the skin is thinner so they do not need to be peeled.
- Slice peaches into small chunks. Place on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet.
- Using a special olive oil spray bottle spray the peaches with a thin layer of oil. You can also brush the peaches with a thin layer of oil using a pastry brush. What you want to be sure to do is to just line the peaches with the thinnest layer of oil.
- Sprinkle a bit of salt over the peaches
- Drizzle the whole lot with a thin line of honey.
- Roast on a high rack (a rack placed up high in the oven) at 400°F for about twenty minutes. The peaches and the bits of honey will caramelize.
