Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
For Serving
- Vanilla ice cream, as desired
- Honey, for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough to caramelize the peaches nicely.
- Brush Peaches with Oil: Lightly brush the cut sides of the peach halves with vegetable or canola oil to prevent sticking and help with browning.
- Grill Peaches Cut-Side Down: Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they become soft and slightly charred.
- Flip and Continue Grilling: Turn the peaches skin-side down and grill for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until they are tender and almost falling apart.
- Serve: Remove the grilled peaches from the grill and serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of honey for added sweetness, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to hold their shape during grilling.
- Vegetable or canola oil works best as it has a high smoke point.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on the peaches before grilling.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
- Grilling times may vary depending on the heat of your grill and the ripeness of the peaches.
