Notes
Storage/Reheating: Leftover grilled peaches can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back on the grill or in the oven for a couple of minutes to restore the warmth and char.
Variations: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor. For a savory twist, serve on a bed of mixed greens with crumbled feta or goat cheese.
