Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Cut the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. If desired, you can score the cut side of the peaches lightly to help the honey cinnamon mixture soak in.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and cinnamon until well combined, creating a sweet and aromatic drizzle.
- Generously brush the cut side of each peach half with the honey and cinnamon mixture, allowing the flavors to seep into the fruit.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the preheated grill and cook for about 3 minutes, or until beautiful grill marks appear.
- Carefully flip the peaches over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
- To serve, place a grilled peach half on each plate, add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzle any remaining honey cinnamon mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider using a flavored honey, such as lavender or orange blossom.
- If you prefer a bit of tartness, try grilling peaches that are slightly underripe.
- Experiment with different toppings such as chopped nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
