Grilled Peaches: The Sweetest Thing You’ll Put on Your Grill All Summer
Ripe peaches meet a hot grill for one of the simplest, most impressive desserts of summer. In under 15 minutes, natural sugars caramelize into a warm, tender bite that’s delicious on its own or dressed up with bourbon sauce.

Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe, but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- avocado oil (or other neutral, high-heat oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or cast iron pan on medium-high heat, aiming for 350˚ to 400˚F.
- Lightly brush the cut side of each peach with avocado oil.
- Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill and leave them undisturbed.
- Flip to the uncut side once the peaches release naturally from the grill and show a deep golden-brown caramelization, and grill just until warmed through.
- Remove the peaches from the grill.
- Garnish with a bourbon sauce or your own favorite topping.
Notes
- Freestone peaches make for the easiest prep because the pit releases easily.
- See the notes in the post above about how to pit a clingstone peach.
- No grill? Use a cast iron grill pan or a heavy skillet to caramelize your peaches.
