What Do I Need To Grill a Peach?
Luckily, this recipe is SUPER simple and you really only need a handful of ingredients and tools. The best part? You don’t even need an outdoor grill! As long as you have a grill pan or an oven with a broil function, you can make this recipe.
We also found during recipe testing that, if you’re using a grill pan, it’s best to brush the peaches with vegetable oil rather than butter. The butter added flavor but it always caused the peaches to stick. So, we highly recommend lightly brushing the peaches with vegetable oil to ensure they don’t stick!
Another important thing we learned is to not overcook the peaches! Nobody likes a mushy, slimey, overcooked peach. Cooking the peaches for about 6 minutes on medium high heat makes the peaches just tender enough to eat without making them too mushy. If you’re cooking them in the oven, follow the same directions. The peaches should take 2-3 minutes per side to get that perfectly tender peach!
Once grilled, drizzle each peach with lots of honey for a dessert that’s not only light but SUPER delicious.
What Should I Serve With Grilled Peaches?
So, you have grilled peaches. They are a blank canvas for deliciousness! We serve ours with ice cream and a homemade crumble topping! Here are a few ideas to serve with these grilled peaches:
- Crumble Topping: It’s a simple but flavorful addition! All you need are oats, flour, brown sugar, nutmeg (or any spice you like!), butter, and almonds. Just combine everything in a bowl and cut in the butter. Bake for about 10 minutes and crumble on top of your peaches!
- Ice Cream: When it comes to ice cream, we recommend serving this with vanilla ice cream, cinnamon ice cream, or even peaches and cream ice cream! You could also top it with greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or even some burrata if you’d prefer a more savory treat.
- Drizzles: Since we brush these peaches with honey, I highly recommend drizzling just a little extra honey! You can also drizzle salted caramel, melted peanut butter, or chocolate sauce.

Notes + Tips!
- Butter: Use vegan butter for the crumble topping.
- Honey: Substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for the honey in the glaze.
- Ice Cream: Choose vegan ice cream or top the peaches with a dollop of vegan whipped cream for a complete dessert.
- Flour: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the crumble topping. Make sure to choose a blend that includes a binder like xanthan gum.
- Oats: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
- Stone Fruits: If you can’t find peaches, you can substitute other ripe stone fruits like nectarines, plums, or apricots. Adjust the grilling time slightly based on the thickness of the fruit.
- Nuts: Don’t have almonds? You can use chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, or even a mixture of different nuts for the crumble topping.
- Spices: Don’t like nutmeg? You can use a pinch of ground cinnamon, ginger, allspice, or even a blend of spices!
- Pick the Right Peaches: Look for ripe but firm peaches. They should have a slight give when pressed gently but not be mushy. A ripe peach will soften beautifully on the grill while maintaining its shape.
- Heat Up Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice sear on the peaches, caramelizing the sugars for a smoky-sweet flavor. If using charcoal, let the coals burn white hot before grilling.
- Brush Wisely: Brush the cut sides of the peaches with a neutral flavored vegetable oil just before placing them on the grill. This helps prevent sticking!
- Don’t Overcook: Peaches cook quickly on the grill, so keep an eye on them! They’re done when they’re slightly softened and develop grill marks on the cut side. Overcooking will make them mushy. Aim for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Grill Marks Make a Difference: While not essential, grill marks add a nice visual appeal and smoky flavor. If using a gas grill, preheat with the lid closed for a few minutes to get the grates nice and hot for even searing!
- Use a Grill Basket: If you’re worried about the peaches falling apart on the grill, you can use a grill basket for easier handling!
