Chef Tips:
- Peaches in Season? If you have fresh peaches, slice them, toss lightly with a drizzle of oil or honey. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Roast in a preheated 450 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Cool before using.
- Leftover Love! Extra pickled onions are a flavor booster for almost anything. Add them to tacos, grain bowls, salads, burgers, avocado toast, or scrambled eggs for a bright, tangy kick. Make them ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Make Ahead: Roasted peaches and lemon white bean salad can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This makes assembly quick and easy!
- Family-Style Option: Set out the flatbreads, fillings, and toppings so everyone can build their own sandwich. This is perfect for gatherings, meal prep, or busy weeknights.
