Ingredients

Scale

Peach Preparation

  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil

Toppings

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to caramelize the peaches without burning.
  2. Prepare the peaches: Brush each peach half with vegetable or canola oil to prevent sticking and help achieve a nice char on the grill.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until they are soft and showing grill marks.
  4. Flip and continue grilling: Turn the peaches skin-side down and grill for an additional 4 to 6 minutes until they are tender and beginning to fall apart.
  5. Serve and garnish: Remove the peaches from the grill and serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream, drizzled honey, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from becoming too mushy on the grill.
  • Use a grill basket or foil if your grill grates are very wide to avoid losing peach halves.
  • Experiment with other toppings like cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Grilled peaches can be served as a dessert or added to salads and savory dishes for a sweet contrast.
