Ingredients
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter, for brushing
2 tbsp honey, for drizzling (optional)
1 cup vanilla ice cream (optional)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted if desired (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Brush cut sides of peaches with olive oil or melted butter.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly.
- Flip and grill for another 2–3 minutes on the skin side.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, a scoop of ice cream, and a sprinkle of toasted nuts if desired.
Notes
Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on peaches before grilling for extra flavor.
Top with Greek yogurt instead of ice cream for a lighter option.
Add a savory twist with balsamic glaze, basil, or goat cheese.
Nectarines can be used in place of peaches.
Best enjoyed fresh off the grill but can be served at room temperature.
