Grilled Peaches with Oat Topping

Summer is officially here! I know because I’m writing this directly in front of the AC with a large glass of iced tea (with lots of ice!). I also know because of the amazing variety of summer fruits that are now in season! Cherries, strawberries, peaches, plums, watermelon…. The list goes on.

Let’s talk fruits on the grill. Grilling summer fruits brings out the sweetness of the fruit with an addictive smoky undertone. You can also do this indoors on a grill pan with similar results.

When you grill fruits you want to make sure you don’t cook them too long. Just long enough to get those deep grill marks and that charred flavor. 1-2 minutes on each side is all it takes.

Try to use very ripe fruit to get that sweetness, but if you can’t drizzle honey over the completed dish to amp up that sweetness if desired. Another option is to top it with vanilla ice cream for a cold and creamy sweetness boost. Any way you serve it this dish is a winner!! Enjoy!
