How to Grill Peaches
Step 1 – While the grill is heating, get your peaches ready. Cut each peach in half and remove the seed. Then brush with olive oil and grill peach halves.
Step 2 – Now, let’s make the butter mixture while the peaches are cooking. Use a microwave safe bowl and melt the butter. Once the butter has been melted, stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
Step 3 – Finally, remove the peaches from the grill and put them on a baking sheet with a rim. They will have beautiful grill marks.
Step 4 – Put some of the melted butter mixture over each peach. Do this slowly so it soaks in and each peach is well coated.
It is that simple! You can also add brown sugar to the butter mixture for extra sweetness. Just add to taste.
Expert Tips
- Type of Peaches – Make sure you choose ripe peaches but still firm. This helps to keep the peaches shape while grilling or charcoal grill or gas grill.
- Covering the Peaches – Gently cover the peaches with butter mixture so that it clings to the peaches for delicious flavor.
- Grilling Peaches – We placed the fresh peaches halves on the grill grates but you can also cook in a grill pan.
How to Serve Grilled Peaches
The peaches are best served hot. We love them topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts over the top of the warm peaches. It is really delicious.
If you are feeling extra decadent, drizzle caramel sauce over the peaches and ice cream. We have added a drizzle of honey when serving with out oatmeal.
The ideas are endless for this tasty treat. You can also add chopped pecans, walnuts and goat cheese. I bet other types of ice cream would also be good. Some ideas include butter pecan, caramel swirl and more.
They are also good with whipped cream. I love this easy homemade whipped cream. It’s so simple and really good.
