- 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh thyme sprigs
- Mascarpone or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix honey, olive oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Brush the peach halves with the honey mixture.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip peaches and continue grilling for 3-4 minutes until tender with visible grill marks.
- Remove peaches from the grill and drizzle with the remaining honey mixture.

Notes
If mascarpone or vanilla ice cream is unavailable, substitute with Greek yogurt, coconut cream, or whipped cream. Prepare the honey mixture a day ahead and refrigerate; reheat slightly before use. Store grilled peaches in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If peaches stick to the grill, ensure it’s well-oiled. For firmer peaches, reduce grilling time slightly. Slightly underripe peaches work best to maintain structure.
