Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (natural)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Optional Variations and Toppings

  • Plant-based ricotta or mascarpone (plant-based) for serving
  • Pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
  • Crushed toasted almonds or walnuts for texture
  • Basil or thyme leaves to substitute fresh mint
  • Grape juice reduction for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly and carefully slice them in half. Remove the pits and gently pat the peaches dry with a towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect grilled finish.
  2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup (natural), lemon juice (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), and a drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil (natural). Mix well to form a balanced sweet and spicy glaze that will soak into the peaches.
  3. Grill the Peaches: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates with extra virgin olive oil (natural) to prevent sticking. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly. Flip the peaches, brush generously with the glaze, and grill for another 2 minutes.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove the peaches from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or your preferred toppings. The peaches can also be enjoyed at room temperature for a refreshing flavor.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm peaches to maintain shape during grilling.
  • Use a natural gelling agent if you want to make compotes or add luscious texture.
  • Keep the grill clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking and burning.
  • Brush the peaches regularly with glaze while grilling to build layers of flavor.
  • Serve promptly for optimal freshness and taste.
