In the warmer weather months, I grill all different kinds of fruits and vegetables such as grilled zucchini, grilled corn, and these amazingly delicious grilled peaches. Have you ever tried grilled peaches before? If not, you’re totally missing out! The natural sweetness of the peaches develops an intense flavor when exposed to the high heat of the grill that just can’t be beat. Serve your peaches as a side dish, or add a scoop of ice cream and garnish of mint leaves and berries for a decadent dessert. Looking for more summery dessert favorites? You can’t go wrong with fair food classics like fried Oreos and fried twinkies!
Grilled Peaches Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need peaches, vegetable oil, honey and cinnamon.
How Do You Make Grilled Peaches?
Cut peaches in half, then remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with a little oil. Heat a grill to medium, then add the peaches cut side down to the grill grates. Cook for a few minutes until the peaches are caramelized and just softened. Drizzle a mixture of honey and cinnamon over the peaches, then serve and enjoy.
Tips For Grilled Peaches
You can make this dish outdoors on a charcoal or gas grill, or inside on a stove top grill pan. This recipe also works with other stone fruit such as nectarines, plums and apricots. Grilled peaches stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can eat them warm or cold. I typically use clover honey for this recipe, but you can use a different variety such as orange blossom or wildflower honey if you prefer. You can even use a little brown sugar instead of honey! Serve your peaches as part of an outdoor grilling menu! I recommend trying some of my favorites including grilled chicken kabobs and grilled vegetables. I also like to offer some fresh salads including caprese salad and carrot salad.
