Craving something simple yet surprising? These grilled peaches with a sweet and herby honey-basil glaze make the perfect summer dessert. Delicious with ice cream, mascarpone, or just on their own — ready in minutes and full of flavor.
Grilled Peaches with Honey-Basil Glaze
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: mascarpone, Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat a grill pan or barbecue to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, dried basil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Grill the peaches cut side down for about 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip and grill another 2 minutes on the rounded side.
- While still on the grill, brush the warm peaches with the honey-basil glaze so the flavors can soak in.
- Serve warm with a spoonful of mascarpone, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or just as they are — warm and sweet.
Tips:
- Dried basil has a stronger flavor than fresh, so use it sparingly.
- You can also make this recipe with nectarines or apricots.
- For extra crunch, top with chopped pistachios.
