Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 large ripe peaches halved and pitted
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp canola oil for greasing the grill grates

Optional Toppings

4 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
1 tbsp fresh mint leaves for garnish

Method

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until a smooth paste forms.
Lightly brush the cut side of the peach halves with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, reserving any remaining glaze for later.
Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them using a paper towel dipped in canola oil to prevent sticking.
Place the peaches on the grill, cut-side down. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes until distinct grill marks appear and the fruit begins to soften.
Using tongs, carefully flip the peaches over. Brush the tops with any remaining cinnamon butter and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until the skins are slightly charred and the fruit is tender.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately while warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Ensure peaches are ripe but still slightly firm; overripe peaches may become too mushy on the grill. For an extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted pecans or walnuts before serving.
