Cooking Instructions
Prepare the peaches by washing them thoroughly, halving each peach, and removing the pit. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges, about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
Heat the skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil, allowing it to melt smoothly.
Place the peach wedges in the hot pan in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until golden.
Carefully flip each wedge using tongs, sprinkle your chosen sweetener over the peaches, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until caramelized.
The peaches are ready when fork-tender and glistening with syrup. Toss gently for even coating.
Serve warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
