This is one of the best and most simple ways you can elevate an already perfect fruit at the height of the season. Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars in peaches, ramping up their sweetness and accentuating their juiciness. Choose peaches that are just ripe, but not soft, and make sure to wash them but leave the skins on. And if you want to take it up a notch, check out this recipe for Grilled Peaches with Burrata!
How to Grill Peaches
Preheat the grill to medium high. Carefully oil the grill rack.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits, leaving the skin on. The pits may pop out easily, or if they are cling peaches, you may have to carve out the pit with a small sharp knife.
Brush the cut sides of the peaches with the olive oil.
Season lightly with kosher salt. Grill the peaches, cut sides down for 5 minutes, with the cover on, until they are slightly softened, and have pretty grill marks.
Flip them over and grill, covered, for another 3 minutes. Remove to a serving platter.
