Pineapple and peaches were made for grilling

Yes, just grill them directly—no marinating, no complicated syrup.

Cut pineapple into rings or long planks, about ½ to ¾ inch thick. Peaches? Halve them, remove the pit. Don’t peel. That skin holds everything together. Pat both dry so they don’t steam.

Get the grill hot—medium-high. Brush the fruit with a little neutral oil (or melted butter) to stop sticking and help caramelization. Place directly on the grates.

Cook 3-4 minutes per side, just until you see nice grill marks and the fruit softens slightly. You want it warm and juicy, not mushy. Peaches get a little smoky-sweet. Pineapple goes almost candy-like.

That’s it. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey. You can add a dusting of cinnamon or cayenne before grilling if you’re feelin’ fancy, but honestly, the fruit does the work.

Your grill is already hot. You’re one step away from dessert.
