These simple grilled peaches are the perfect way to enjoy a dessert that is easy, delicious and highlights summer's produce.
These fresh peaches are at their peak during the months of July and August and they really don't need a lot of jazzing up to shine.
You will love grilled peaches because adding a little heat and sugar caramelizes them and makes them tender and sweet.
Ingredients
- Peaches: Pick fruit that is ripe but not overly soft. As they cook the peaches will soften so pick some that lightly give in when pressured.
- Oil: Avocado oil is my go to here because we are using high heat.
- Sugar: Regular sugar or brown sugar work well here.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon add nice warmth to the peaches.
- Ice cream: To serve them
- Pistachios: To garnish.
Instructions
Step 1: Cut the peaches
Cut each peach in half through the stem and remove the pit. Place the halves in a bowl toss with the oil and reserve.
Step 2: Make the cinnamon sugar
Combine the cinnamon and sugar and whisk to mix well. Sprinkle on the flesh side of the peaches.
Step 3: Grill the peaches
I used a grill pan to cook the peaches over high heat for about 4 minutes flesh side down and 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 4: Garnish and serve
Serve the peaches with a scoop of ice cream and garnish them with chopped pistachios.
