Scale
Ingredients
- 4 fresh ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches and slice them in half, carefully removing the pits. For smaller or very ripe peaches, slice into thick wedges for quicker grilling. Lightly brush the peaches with lemon juice to keep them vibrant and flavorful.
- Preheat and Oil the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent the peaches from sticking and to help create beautiful caramelized grill marks.
- Brush with Honey (natural) and Cinnamon (natural): Generously brush each peach half with honey (natural), then sprinkle with cinnamon (natural) to create a sweet and aromatic glaze after grilling.
- Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Allow them to cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to soften. Flip carefully and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes to achieve tender, juicy peaches.
- Serve Warm or Room Temperature: Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly. Serve warm on their own or pair with garnishes and sides for an elevated presentation.
Notes
- Choose firm ripe peaches to hold shape and texture on the grill.
- Always oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and to get perfect char marks.
- Apply honey (natural) just before grilling to avoid burning and enhance melting.
- Use a natural gelling agent if making a glaze or sauce for a smooth consistency.
- Maintain medium-high heat for sweet caramelization without over-charring the peaches.
