Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 12 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Halve the peaches and remove the pits. If desired, use a melon baller to remove a small circle of flesh to ensure a clean cut.
Brush the cut side of each peach half with extra virgin olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Place the peaches cut side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
Carefully flip the peaches over using tongs and grill for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on the skin side.
Remove the peaches from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled peaches with honey. Adjust the quantity based on your sweetness preference.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, roughly torn for a more aromatic experience.
Finish with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately as a sweet and refreshing dessert.
