Grilled Peaches with Honey and Thyme

Print Recipe

Juicy, lightly charred peach halves drizzled with warm honey, perfumed by fresh thyme—a quick summer dessert that feels restaurant-worthy yet comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
  • 3 Tbsp (45 ml) honey, plus extra to taste
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped (reserve a few sprigs for garnish)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract or a squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat an outdoor grill (or stovetop grill pan) to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates.
  2. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill.
  3. Grill 3–4 minutes, until distinct grill marks appear and the fruit begins to soften. Flip and grill 2–3 minutes more.
  4. While peaches cook, warm the honey in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until thin and pourable; stir in chopped thyme (and vanilla or lemon juice if using).
  5. Transfer grilled peaches to a serving platter. Drizzle with warm thyme-infused honey and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt.
  6. Garnish with reserved thyme sprigs and serve immediately—plain, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure; overly soft fruit will collapse on the grill.
  • Swap thyme for rosemary or mint for a different herbal note.
  • The same method works with nectarines, apricots, or plums—adjust grill time to fruit size.
  • For deeper caramelization, sprinkle a little brown sugar on the cut side before grilling.
