Notes
Peaches: Look for peaches that are uniform in color, smell sweet and give just slightly when gently squeezed. If they are overly soft they will fall apart when grilled.
Oil: It is best to use canola oil, avocado oil, or light olive oil that can hold up to the heat of the grill. Extra virgin olive oil or melted butter can burn before the peaches have time to caramelize.
Add Cinnamon Sugar: Before grilling the peaches, sprinkle them with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Serving Size: Plan on half a peach per person for serving.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add diced leftover grilled peaches to oatmeal or yogurt.
