Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 firm, ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based yogurt (plant-based), optional for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint

Optional Variations

  • Dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds or walnuts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon natural vanilla syrup or extract (natural)
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries
  • Natural caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice each in half, removing the pit carefully. Lightly brush each peach half with olive oil (natural) on the cut side to prevent sticking and to enhance grilling.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium. A well-preheated grill ensures those alluring grill marks and smoky flavor without overcooking the delicate fruit.
  3. Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes until you see pronounced grill marks and the peaches soften slightly, releasing their natural juices.
  4. Add the Sweet Glaze: Flip the peaches and immediately brush the grilled side with honey (natural) mixed with lemon juice (natural) and a hint of cinnamon (natural) to create a shiny, aromatic glaze.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Remove peaches from the grill, sprinkle with fresh chopped mint, and serve warm, optionally with a dollop of plant-based yogurt (plant-based) for a creamy companion.

Notes

  • Choose firm peaches that are ripe but hold their shape well on the grill.
  • Brush peaches lightly with olive oil (natural) to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  • Use medium heat to achieve grill marks and the ideal balance of sweetness without burning.
  • Do not overcook; peaches should be tender but maintain their shape.
  • Fresh mint or basil adds brightness and enhances aroma.
  • Serve grilled peaches warm for best flavor and texture.
