Golden Grilled Peaches are the ultimate summer dessert, blending smoky char with irresistible sweetness. This quick, easy recipe transforms simple peaches into a warm, caramelized treat that tastes like sunshine in every bite. Perfect for backyard BBQs, casual dinners, or even a romantic picnic, these peaches are both rustic and elegant.
As they grill, the natural sugars caramelize, creating a golden glow and deepening the flavor. The buttery honey-cinnamon glaze seeps into the fruit, making each mouthful juicy and fragrant. And while they’re heavenly on their own, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes them over the top.
Fun fact: Grilling fruit has been a favorite technique for centuries, from Mediterranean markets to American cookouts. It not only intensifies flavor but also adds a hint of smokiness that’s simply irresistible.
In under 10 minutes, you can serve a dessert that looks gourmet yet couldn’t be easier — and it’s guaranteed to impress every guest.
Recipe Yield: 8 servings
INGREDIENTS
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat and prepare:
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350–375°F). Brush grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
2. Brush the peaches:
In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Brush mixture generously over the cut sides of the peaches.
3. Grill the peaches:
Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize.
4. Flip and finish:
Turn peaches over and brush with remaining butter mixture. Grill for another 2–3 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
5. Serve and enjoy:
Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Drizzle with extra honey for a sweet finish.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Pick ripe but firm peaches: Overripe peaches can become mushy on the grill, so choose ones that are fragrant yet slightly firm to the touch.
- Don’t skip the preheat: A properly heated grill ensures beautiful char marks and prevents sticking.
- Experiment with toppings: Try balsamic glaze, chopped nuts, or fresh herbs like mint for a gourmet twist.
