Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium and give the grates a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and pile the peach slices right in the center. Sprinkle them with a little lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then drop small bits of butter on top. Fold the foil up around the peaches, making sure it’s sealed well so the juices don’t escape. Place the foil packet on the grill, close the lid, and let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the peaches are soft and fragrant. Carefully open the foil (watch out for steam) and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the natural sweetness of peaches with a smoky, charred flavor from the grill. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for warm weather. Plus, the foil packets make cleanup easy and help keep the fruit juicy and tender.
How to serve
Serve warm alongside vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a simple dessert. These packets also work well as a sweet side with grilled meats or a fresh salad.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to retain the soft texture and warm flavor. Avoid freezing as peaches can become watery when thawed.
