This Grilled Peaches Recipe is the best summer snack or appetizer! The peaches pair great with honey, mascarpone, fresh thyme or vanilla ice cream! This vegetarian recipe will also please both kids and adults and it comes together in under 15 minutes!
Wash peaches and slice each lengthwise then remove the pit. Brush each peach halve with olive oil then sprinkle with brown sugar.
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill or skillet and add peaches skin side up when warm. Cook until peaches are soft and slightly charred. While the peaches are cooking prepare the honey mascarpone.
Combine mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract and honey in a bowl and stir with a whisk until light and combined.
When peaches are finished cooking serve each warm with a spoonful of honey mascarpone. Drizzle each with additional honey and fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy!
Leftover Storage: Store leftover peaches and mascarpone in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rewarm peaches in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or in the oven until warm.
Alternate Serving Ideas: You could serve these peaches with vanilla ice cream, and maple syrup as well!
Alternate Preparations: If you do not want to use an outdoor grill or stove-top you could make these peaches in the oven. Follow recipe prep instructions then preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place peaches skin side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until soft. Note: you will not get the same char or marks as you would on the grill.
Peaches Note: Be sure to try and use peaches that are mostly ripe (firm with some give) and not super squishy. If the peaches are too ripe they will not stand up to the heat and turn to mush.
