Ingredients
Servings: 2
- 2 peaches
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash and dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half along the natural seam, running your knife all the way around the pit. Gently twist the halves apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add the granulated sugar and cinnamon and stir until everything is well combined.
- Brush the cut side of each peach evenly with the cinnamon-butter mixture, making sure the surface is lightly coated.
- Preheat your outdoor grill or flat-top griddle to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to help prevent the peaches from sticking.
- Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill or griddle. Cook without moving them for about 3–4 minutes, giving the sugar time to caramelize and the peaches time to develop golden grill marks.
- Flip the peaches over and lightly brush with any remaining cinnamon-butter mixture. Continue grilling for another 3–4 minutes, or until the peaches are warm and tender but still hold their shape.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Serve the peaches as halves, or slice them if you prefer. They’re delicious on their own, alongside a savory meal, or warm with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
