Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole peaches or nectarines
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). If using a grill pan indoors, heat it on your stovetop over medium heat.
Rinse the peaches or nectarines under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each fruit in half and carefully remove the pit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until combined.
Brush the cut sides of the peaches or nectarines generously with the maple mixture using a pastry brush.
Place the fruit halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize.
Flip the fruit using tongs and brush the tops with more of the maple mixture. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the fruit is slightly softened but still holds its shape.
Remove the grilled peaches or nectarines from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired, for an extra indulgent treat.
