Yields: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (I use light butter)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and scraped*
  • 4 firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • vanilla bean ice cream, for serving
  • fresh raspberries, for serving
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large shallow baking dish, combine butter, lemon juice, sugar and vanilla bean (seeds and pod). Add peaches and turn to coat with butter mixture. Arrange peaches cut side down in a single layer.
  2. Roast peaches until tender and cooking liquid is syrupy, 20-25 minutes. Brush with cooking liquid halfway.
  3. Serve peaches with a scoop of ice cream and raspberries and drizzle with cooking liquid.
Notes
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract can be substituted for the vanilla bean
