Ingredients
6 peaches, firm but ripe
Olive oil (for brushing)
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For serving (optional):
Ice cream
Caramel sauce
Instructions
-
Prepare the Peaches: Wash and cut the peaches in half, removing the pit. Lightly score the flesh if desired to help with grilling.
-
Make the Cinnamon Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
-
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C). Brush the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip the peaches and brush the grilled side with cinnamon butter. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until tender and caramelized.
-
Serve: Remove peaches from the grill and serve warm, topped with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover grilled peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the grill for a couple of minutes.
Variations:
Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
Add a pinch of cayenne to the cinnamon butter for a spicy kick.
Substitute honey for a lighter drizzle instead of cinnamon butter.
Use coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
