Ingredients

4 ripe but firm peaches halved and pitted
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
2 tablespoons sliced almonds or chopped pistachios for garnish
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling
Optional: vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
Wash peaches and pat dry.
Slice peaches in half and remove pits carefully.
Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
If using, mix honey with lemon juice and cinnamon; brush some onto the cut sides.
Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill.
Grill 3–4 minutes without moving to develop char marks.
Flip peaches and grill another 2–3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
Remove from grill and brush with remaining honey or drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Garnish with sliced almonds and fresh mint; serve warm with ice cream or yogurt if desired.
