    📝 Ingredients for Grilled Peaches with Walnuts recipe:

    • Fresh peaches - go for peaches that are firm, but not rock solid. And juicy but not falling apart. It helps to have that in-between firmness of the peach so you can get the pit out AND so they stand up to grilling
    • Butter
    • Brown sugar - light, dark or regular brown sugar. I haven't tried with maple syrup, but the results would be similar
    • Walnuts - chopped and unsalted and non-toasted (raw) are ideal
    • Kosher salt

    🔪Instructions

    This recipe for grilled peaches is super simple.

    Here's the high level steps:

    • Grill the pitted peach halves on a hot BBQ grill or on a pan for about 2-3 minutes. Set aside
    • Heat some butter in a small pan
    • Add the brown sugar and stir
    4 peach halves on a grill pan.
    Melted butter in a small pan.
    • Then add the nuts and toast for a few minutes
    • Sprinkle with the Kosher salt and then remove from heat
    • Spoon this nut, butter and brown sugar mixture into the middle of grilled peaches and serve warm

    🍑Substitutions

    • Canned peaches vs. fresh - use fresh peaches for this recipe, k? Canned peaches are so watery (or syrupy) and it makes them pretty difficult to grill. For this recipe, I recommend sticking with fresh peaches.

    • Maple syrup instead of brown sugar - you can use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for the walnut filling in the peaches but the recipe won't turn out exactly the same. Much like the above point, you'll have more water from the syrup so will take longer and/or higher temps to come to a nice coating but you can get there. Experiment because any "failure" will be absolutely delicious.

    🥣Equipment

    For these grilled peaches, you'll need some sort of grill - you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or you can use a BBQ.

    I like grilling the peaches indoors on a grill pan as the heat is easy to control. If using a BBQ be sure the heat isn't too high and keep a close eye on the peaches so they don't get overdone.

    You'll also need a small pan to make the brown sugar filling, a spoon and tongs.

    🥡Storage and Freezing

    Leftover grilled peaches can be eaten the next day. Keep any leftovers wrapped tightly in the fridge.

    Re-heat in the microwave the next day.

    But they really lose their quality the next day - plus the nuts will start to lose their crunch.

    I recommend eating up all the grilled peaches the same day.

    The ingredients don't stand up well to freezing so I'd avoid that too.

    I hope you love these Easy Gluten Free Grilled Peaches with Walnuts like we do.
