Method
- Before cooking, measure these ingredients: 4 peaches and 50 g almonds. Set out the remaining ingredients, cookware and utensils so everything is ready.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Halve peaches and remove stones.
- Arrange halves in a baking dish, drizzle with lemon and maple syrup, and dust with cinnamon.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped almonds before serving.
- Before serving, check: At the end, pierce the thickest piece with a fork: the centre should be tender and the edges lightly browned. If firm, roast a few minutes longer.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Preheat the oven fully and spread the pieces in a single layer with gaps. An overcrowded tray steams vegetables instead of roasting them.
- At the end, pierce the thickest piece with a fork: the centre should be tender and the edges lightly browned. If firm, roast a few minutes longer.
- If the top darkens too fast, move the tray down or lower the temperature slightly. If pale, roast uncovered for the final minutes.
