If you’re anything like me, you eat fresh fruit in abundance during summer. Not a day goes by where I don’t enjoy peaches, nectarines, cherries, mangoes or watermelon. And although I do agree that seasonal fruit is best served as is, something amazing happens when you grill fruit. Especially stone fruit. The sugars caramelize, the slight char adds incredible flavor and this simple step turns juicy fruit into the perfect, easy summery dessert. We love serving grilled peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of oat crumble for texture. So easy and so delicious.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Fresh peaches. Use seasonal, ripe peaches. Other stone fruit like plums, apricots and nectarines all work well too. Melted butter. Olive oil can be used instead. Rolled oats/old fashioned oats. Pecan nuts. Walnuts or sliced almonds can be substituted. Brown sugar. Maple syrup. Vanilla extract. A pinch of cinnamon can also be added. Salt.
How to grill peaches
Can I make this ahead
Grilled peaches are quick to prepare and cook but they can be cooked the day before you plan on serving them and simply reheated on a hot grill. Leftovers can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
