Ingredients
Scale
For the Grilled Peaches
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin) or use an oil spray
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For Serving
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill (or grill pan for stovetop use) to medium heat. Ensure the grill is properly heated to prevent the peaches from sticking to the grates. - Brush the Peaches
Lightly brush the peach halves with olive oil. Alternatively, you can use an oil spray for an even application. - Grill the Peaches
Place the peach halves cut side down on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, until distinct grill marks form. Flip the peaches and grill the other side for an additional 3 minutes, until the fruit becomes tender and fragrant. - Serve the Peaches
Remove the peaches from the grill. Arrange them cut side up on a plate. Sprinkle with brown sugar, then top each peach half with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- This recipe can easily be adapted for indoors using a stovetop grill pan.
- Try sprinkling some cinnamon or nutmeg on the peaches for added warmth and spice.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based ice cream.
- Make sure your peaches are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
