You won’t believe how fast and easy grilled peaches are to make. It’s the perfect healthy summer 10-minute dessert that everyone will go crazy over, even people who don’t like peaches, like my daughter, will love this. They also make a great topping for a salad or a wonderful appetizer served with some cheese and prosciutto.
They are delicious on their own but most people prefer to top them with something sweet and creamy. See cook’s notes for serving suggestions and tips on how to slice and pit a peach.
Ingredients
Directions
Place peach halves skin side down on a plate. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top of all the peaches. Sprinkle tops with a pinch of salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside while you preheat your grill.
Be sure to start with a clean grill that has been sprayed with Grill Spray. Once the grill is at a medium-high heat (about 300 degrees Fahrenheit) you can place the peaches skin side down on the grill. Grill skin side down with lid closed for about 3 minutes. Turn the peaches over and grill on the other side for about 2 minutes with the lid closed forming nice grill marks. You can peak at one after 2 minutes and if it doesn’t have those grill lines give it another minute or two. Remove from grill and place on the same plate you originally had them on or a decorative plate. Serve warm with your favorite topping, see notes below.
Cook’s notes:
How to slice a peach: You can easily slice and pit a Freestone peach by making a cut down to the stone along the seam. Be sure to go all the way around the peach. Twist halves in the opposite direction as you would for an avocado. Once the peach is separated you can easily remove the pit that will remain in one of the halves.
These peaches can be served many different ways so feel free to get creative. You can also use more or less sugar or cinnamon depending on your taste. Here are some of the things I serve them with: vanilla or chocolate ice cream, Greek yogurt or Mascarpone cheese with a little honey, homemade whipped cream or anything like this that rocks your boat. I like mine drizzled with just a little fat free half and half for a light dessert, or on my real treat days some vanilla ice cream.
Give this one a try and let me know how you served them.
