Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 6 ripe but firm peaches halved and pitted
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar optional
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
- Caramel for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush the cut sides of each peach half with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3–5 minutes, until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened.
- Remove from grill and let cool for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
Notes
- Use just-ripe peaches that are still slightly firm—overripe peaches can fall apart on the grill.
- Brush the grill or grill pan with a little oil to prevent sticking and get those perfect char marks.
- For extra flavor, mix a splash of bourbon or vanilla extract into the melted butter before brushing it on the peaches.
