Ingredients
- 3 ripe but firm yellow peaches freestone preferred
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or canola/coconut oil
- Vanilla bean ice cream for serving
- Miso Caramel Sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prep the Fruit: Wash the peaches thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with your chosen oil.
- Sear for Marks: Once the grill is hot, place the peaches cut-side down over direct heat. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until deep grill marks appear. (Optional: For a professional crosshatch pattern, rotate the peaches 90 degrees halfway through the searing time).
- Soften: Brush a little oil on the skin side of the peaches, then flip them over so the cut side is facing up. Move the peaches to indirect heat (or reduce your stove heat to low) and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly softened.
- Serve: Remove the peaches from the heat. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of miso caramel sauce.
Notes
- Oil Selection: Always use a high-smoke-point oil. Avoid butter for the grilling step, as the milk solids will burn before the peaches finish cooking.
- Patience is Key: Do not move or rotate the peaches excessively. Letting them sit undisturbed is the only way to get perfect, distinct grill marks.
- Leftovers: Unsweetened grilled peaches are incredibly versatile. Dice any leftovers for your morning oatmeal, or serve them alongside a savory burrata and prosciutto salad.
