Zubereitung von Baked Papaya

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel two ripe papayas, halve them lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Place the papaya halves, cut-side up, in a large baking dish. Pour in enough water to reach about 1/2 inch in depth.
In the center of each papaya half, place 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons of packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 of a vanilla bean (about 1 inch), split lengthwise to release the seeds.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the papayas are tender and the brown sugar has formed a delicious caramel. The exact time will depend on the ripeness of your papayas and your oven.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
