Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Pinch of sea salt

Pinch of black pepper

½ cup crumbled goat cheese (or feta for a tangy twist, optional)

Fresh basil for garnish

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your peaches roast evenly and get that delicious caramelized flavor.

    Prepare the Peaches: Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.

      Create the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Coat the Peaches: Drizzle the herb mixture over the peach halves, making sure to coat them evenly. Use a brush or your hands to ensure every peach is well covered.

          Roast the Peaches: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

            Serve: Once the peaches are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If using, sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the warm peaches.

              Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful appetizer, dessert, or a topping for grilled meats.
