Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized peaches, ripe yet firm
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat to ensure it’s properly heated for grilling the peaches.
- Prepare the Peaches: Use a sharp paring knife to cut each peach in half. Twist each half in opposite directions to separate them, then carefully remove the pit using your fingers or by sliding the knife under the pit if it’s stuck.
- Brush with Butter: Generously brush all over each peach half with the melted unsalted butter to promote caramelization and prevent sticking.
- Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill each side for approximately 4 minutes until the peaches are tender and have developed slight char marks.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from the grill and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon or drizzling a little honey after grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works just as well.
- Serve grilled peaches as a dessert with ice cream or as a side dish with grilled meats.
- Use melted unsalted butter to control the salt level and enhance the natural fruit flavor.
