Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole nectarines
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 4 servings plain Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the nectarines thoroughly and cut them in half, removing the pits.
Place the nectarine halves cut-side up in a baking dish, leaving a little space between each piece.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until combined.
Drizzle the honey-butter mixture evenly over the nectarine halves, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the nectarines for a crunchy texture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the nectarines cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Serve the baked nectarines warm, optionally topped with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
