I’ve heard so many people, blogs, magazines, recipe sites talking about grilling peaches. Everytime I hear about it, I think “I have to try that” and I always forget.
Look at this beauty
Well peaches are just about coming into season and I was bound and determined to toss one on the grill with our burgers tonight.
Hahaha Peachbutt
I cut it in half and left the pit in. I doused it with vegetable oil and placed it face-down on the grill for 5 minutes. Then I flipped it over on the other side for another 5 minutes.
The result? Delicious carmelized sweet treat. I cant tell you how simply delicious this tastes. I will be trying variations on fruit and toppings with this one – such as greek yogurt and honey and nuts…….!
Right off the grill
Cut up and ready to eat
Here is one that I made where I put a dollop of greek yogurt (0% fat) and drizzled some honey on top. This was really good and would be great to serve as a nice dressed up healthy dessert!
All dressed up
Delicious, sweet, and creamy
This is sooooooo beyond simple and I really encourage EVERYONE to try it. Here’s the recipe (although no real recipe is needed)….
Grilled Peaches
Ingredients:
- Peaches (as many as you need)
- Vegetable oil
Optional Toppings:
- Greek Yogurt or whipped cream
- Honey
Directions:
Slice peaches in half in a bowl. Twist them apart into 2 halves, do NOT remove the pit.
Put vegetable oil on top of peaches and cover on the inside flesh really well.
Place pit-side down on hot grill for approx 5 minutes. Then baste the top skin with some more oil and flip over to the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove from grill and serve warm if possible.
Note: you can also use nectarines and plums (plums are a bit more delicate so dont cook as long). Feel free to mix it up!!
