Easy Substitutions & Variations:
- Use a different sweetener: Maple syrup can be used in place of honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Change the spice: Swap cinnamon for nutmeg or cardamom, or omit spices entirely to keep the peaches more neutral.
- Add citrus: Finish the grilled peaches with a squeeze of fresh lemon or orange juice to brighten the flavor.
- Make it extra simple: Skip the vanilla if needed, the peaches will still grill well with just honey and oil.
- Serving variations: Slice and spoon the peaches over Yogurt Parfaits, Baked Blueberry Oatmeal, Coconut Flour Pancakes, or serve alongside grilled meats for a sweet-savory option.
How to Make Grilled Peaches:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or a grill pan to prevent sticking.
- Wash and halve the peaches. Remove the pits, but leave the skins on.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Brush the cut side of each peach half with the mixture.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks form and the peaches are softened.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately as-is or with toppings like yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- Choose the right ripeness: Peaches should be ripe but still firm; overly soft peaches can break down too quickly on the grill.
- Preheat the grill fully: Starting with a properly heated grill helps the peaches cook evenly and prevents sticking.
- Cut-side down first: Place the peaches cut-side down to help them soften and cook through without drying out.
- Watch closely: Peaches grill quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking or burning the honey.
- Serve right away: Honey grilled peaches are best enjoyed warm, shortly after grilling, when their texture is at its best.
- Serving Suggestions: We love topping these peaches with Peanut Butter Granola or Cream Cheese Frosting.
