Becky’s Tips
- When buying peaches, make sure they are slightly soft, dark yellow, and round.
- Resist the temptation to reposition the peaches once they’re on the grill — good grill marks on peaches are the result of patience (and clean grill grates). The peaches don’t need much cooking–just enough to heat them through.
- Plan on at least one peach half per person, but be prepared for seconds!

Serving Suggestions
Grilled peaches also make a great side with pork. I suggest skipping the ice cream if you serve the peaches as a side dish, but I promise, I won’t judge! Pair these peaches with crispy breaded pork chops, or a hearty stuffing stuffed pork roast for a delicious seasonal meal!
I used nectarines instead of peaches (my preference) and sprinkled with toasted pistachios.
That sounds so yummy!!
I make this with a little crushed graham crackers over top of ice cream and i used pecans…delish!
These look amazing Becky! Pinned for later!
Thanks Sarah! You are so sweet
Those look incredible! Never tried grilling peaches, but will definitely make these this summer!
Hope you love them Crissy! There’s so much on your site I can’t wait to try this Summer too!
So I’ve never grilled peaches which is just slightly ridiculous! We do pineapple all the time … but I need to make the peaches happen! And with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel … I mean c’mon!
I think salted caramel sauce makes pretty much anything delicious!! <3 Thanks for stopping by Ashley :)
