Easy Grilled Peaches
Transform peaches into the ultimate juicy and caramelized summer dessert using this quick & easy grilled peaches recipe with cinnamon + brown sugar!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches halved and pitted (not overly ripe)
- 2 tablespoons of neutral oil
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of walnuts or pecans chopped
- ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- Plant-based vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the oil and brown sugar.
- Generously brush the cut side of each peach half with the oil and sugar mixture.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill or hot pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to caramelize.
- Remove from the grill and place on a serving plate, cut side up.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts or pecans, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the warm peaches.
- Optionally, top with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use only ‘just’ ripe peaches: They should be ripe yet firm. That way, they won’t fall apart, and the grilling process caramelizes them to bring out their sweetness.
- Preheat the grill: This is important to avoid sticking and cooking the peaches in the necessary time will avoid them from burning or becoming mushy before ready.
- Grill undisturbed: This ensures they form nice grill lines. For the best pan-grilled peaches, use a cast-iron grill pan – this produces the most grill-like results.
