- Prepare Peaches – Slice the peaches with a paring knife and remove the pits from the peach halves. Top with oil to prevent the peaches from sticking to the grill grates.
- Prepare Grill – Before placing the peaches on the gas grill make sure to preheat it. You can also cook the peaches on a charcoal grill in a grill pan. We like grilling directly on the grill grates to get the perfect grill marks.
