Legume Free Classic Grilled Peaches
Stone fruit on a hot grill is one of summer's simplest pleasures, and these caramelized peaches deliver every time. The cut sides go down first, soaking up heat until deep grill marks form and the natural sugars turn golden and jammy — it's a transformation that happens fast and looks stunning on a platter. A quick brush of honey, melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt is all the flavoring you need, and every single ingredient here is completely free of legumes, so there's nothing to second-guess. Legume-free cooking can get tricky with desserts that rely on peanut-based toppings or hidden additives, but this recipe keeps things beautifully clean and straightforward. Serve them warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a few fresh mint leaves for a finish that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. Whether you're cooking on an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan, the technique is the same — high heat, a little patience, and that irresistible sizzle.
