To grill peaches, start by slicing them in half and removing the pit. Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 300-350°F). Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until grill marks form and the peaches soften. Then flip and grill the skin side for another 2 to 5 minutes until tender but not mushy. Optionally, brush with sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, or sprinkle with spices like cinnamon after grilling. Serve alone or with toppings like ice cream or nuts for a delicious summer treat.
