Ingredients

• 4 whole ripe peaches
• 4 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (optional)
• 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.

Step 2

Wash the peaches thoroughly, then pat dry. Cut each peach in half and remove the pits.

Step 3

Place the peach halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar over each peach half, ensuring it is evenly distributed across the surface.

Step 5

Dot each peach half with a small amount of butter (about 1/4 teaspoon per peach half).

Step 6

Lightly sprinkle the peaches with ground cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5–8 minutes. Keep a close eye on the peaches to ensure they do not burn. The peaches are done when the sugar has caramelized and the edges have a light golden color.

Step 8

Remove the peaches from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the broiled peaches warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
