What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose peaches that are ripe but firm so they hold their shape on the grill without turning mushy.
- 2Brush the cut sides of the peaches with just a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
- 3Let the peaches grill undisturbed for the full 3-4 minutes to develop deep, defined grill marks and concentrated sweetness.
- 4Whisk the yogurt just before serving to loosen it into a creamy, spoonable texture that contrasts with the warm fruit.
- 5Assemble the bowls right after grilling so the warm peaches gently soften the yogurt for a luxurious temperature contrast.
- 6Leftover grilled peaches can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days—enjoy cold or gently rewarmed.
