Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
For Serving
- Vanilla ice cream
- Honey, for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for grilling the peaches.
- Prepare peaches: Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with vegetable or canola oil to prevent sticking and help with caramelization.
- Grill 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 develop nice grill marks.
- Grill skin-side down: Flip the peaches so the skin side is down and grill them for an additional 4 to 6 minutes until they are almost falling apart and are tender.
- Serve warm: Plate the grilled peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the sweet and smoky flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best grilling results to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop as an alternative.
- Flaky sea salt adds a nice contrast to the sweetness; adjust quantity to your taste.
- Pairing the peaches with complementary sides like whipped cream or fresh mint can enhance the dessert further.
