Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 firm but ripe fresh peaches
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon plant-based vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and halve the peaches, carefully removing the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and to enhance caramelization during grilling.
  2. Mix the Flavoring Sauce: In a small bowl, combine maple syrup (natural), apple cider vinegar, plant-based vanilla extract (natural), and cinnamon (natural). Stir well to create a simple glaze that balances sweetness and tang.
  3. Preheat and Oil the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush the grill grates or pan surface lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure perfect grill marks.
  4. Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear. Flip the peaches, brush the top halves generously with the glaze, then grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still firm.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove the peaches from the grill and serve warm. Optionally, add a sprinkle of cinnamon (natural) or a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream (natural) for a luscious finish.

Notes

  • Choose firm but ripe peaches for the best grilling texture and flavor.
  • Brush both the peaches and grill surface with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill peaches just until tender to retain juiciness and avoid mushiness.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon (natural) for enhanced flavor.
  • Serve grilled peaches warm immediately for optimal taste.
