Sometimes you want a whole-foods dessert that’s simple, satisfying, and won’t derail your healthy eating plan. These grilled peaches fit the bill perfectly.
We think this is the best grilled peaches recipe — juicy, caramelized, and naturally sweet. It’s an excellent low-carb dessert option and easy to adapt to what you have on hand.
We used large white peaches for these photos, but any ripe peach variety will work. You can grill almost any fruit the same way; heat softens the flesh and caramelizes the natural sugars, so added sweeteners are optional.
This recipe is perfect for backyard barbecues or camping trips. Pack a few peaches and an oil spray and you’re ready. If you like a little extra sweetness, brush with a touch of natural honey or finish with a small pour of cream or a scoop of low-sugar vanilla ice cream.
For those watching carbs, peaches remain a sensible choice. Every 100 grams of peach contains only about 8 net grams of carbs and some fiber, so you can enjoy more fruit without overdoing it.
Best Grilled Peaches Recipe Ingredients
- 3 large peaches
- Avocado oil spray (or another neutral oil spray)
- Natural honey (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
Best Grilled Peaches Recipe Instructions
- Preheat the BBQ grill to medium heat.
- Wash the peaches and pat them dry.
- Slice each peach in half and remove the pit.
- Lightly spray the cut side of each peach half with avocado oil spray to prevent sticking and help with caramelization.
- Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill.
- Grill the peaches for about 8–10 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until the flesh is soft and nicely charred. Total time will depend on the ripeness and size of the peaches; aim for tender, warmed-through fruit with visible caramelization.
- Remove from the grill and serve warm. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a small pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, a keto-friendly sweetener, or a scoop of low-sugar vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
