Roasted Peach Parfaits

There’s something so magical about summer fruits, and Roasted Peach Parfaits embody that magic perfectly. I remember the first time I made this dish; it was a warm afternoon, and the sun was shining bright. I had a basket full of ripe, juicy peaches from the local farmers’ market, and I couldn’t wait to create something special. The idea of roasting the peaches brought out their natural sweetness, and layering them with creamy yogurt and crunchy toppings felt like a celebration of summer itself. As I assembled the parfaits, the kitchen filled with the aroma of caramelizing fruit and warm oats. Each bite was a delightful mix of textures and flavors that took me straight back to those sunny days of childhood.

What You’ll Need for Roasted Peach Parfaits

To create these delightful parfaits, we need a few key ingredients that harmonize beautifully together. The star of the show is, of course, the peaches. Their natural sweetness gets enhanced when roasted, making them the perfect addition to our creamy layers. The greek yogurt provides a rich, tangy base, while the crunchy topping of oats and pistachios brings texture and flavor to each spoonful.

• 6 peaches, halved: The juicy base for our parfaits, these fresh peaches will caramelize beautifully when roasted.
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar: This will bring out the sweetness of the peaches during roasting.
• 2 cups greek yogurt: A creamy and protein-rich layer that complements the roasted peaches.
• Honey: A natural sweetener to drizzle over the yogurt, adding a touch of floral sweetness.
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour: Essential for making the crumble topping that adds texture.
• ¼ cup brown sugar, packed: For sweetness in the crumble, enhancing the caramel flavor.
• 3 tablespoons butter: This will help create a rich, crumbly topping.
• ½ cup quick-cooking oats: Adds a heartiness to the topping, making it both crunchy and satisfying.
• ½ cup chopped pistachios: These not only add flavor but also a lovely crunch.
• Pinch kosher salt: A pinch helps balance the sweetness and elevate the flavors.

How to Make Roasted Peach Parfaits

Creating these Roasted Peach Parfaits is a fun and rewarding process. You’ll start by roasting the peaches to enhance their natural sweetness, followed by preparing the crumble topping. Finally, you’ll layer everything together to create a beautiful dessert that’s as delicious as it is pretty.

1. Preheat your oven to 500º F. This high temperature will help caramelize the peaches quickly.
2. Place the halved peaches on a kitchen sheet pan with the skin side down. Sprinkle each half generously with brown sugar. The sugar will create a lovely glaze as the peaches roast.
3. Roast the peaches in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are browned and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
4. While the peaches are cooling, preheat your oven to 350º F. This is the temperature you’ll need for toasting the crumble topping.
5. In a medium bowl, cut butter into the flour and brown sugar using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Stir in the oats, chopped pistachios, and a pinch of kosher salt. This mixture will become the crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with the soft roasted peaches.
7. Spread the crumble mixture onto a small kitchen sheet pan and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Watch carefully until the topping is golden brown and fragrant. Once done, take it out and allow to cool.
8. To assemble the parfaits, start by placing one roasted peach half in the bottom of a parfait dish or glass. You want that beautiful caramelized side facing up.
9. Top the peach with about ¼ cup of greek yogurt. The creaminess of the yogurt pairs so well with the sweet peaches.
10. Drizzle a bit of honey over the yogurt for added sweetness and complexity.
11. Finally, sprinkle your crunchy crumble topping over the yogurt. Each spoonful should have a bit of everything for the best experience!
12. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful layers of flavor and texture! These parfaits are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be assembled ahead of time if you keep the components separate until you’re ready to serve.
