There’s something magical about a warm peach in late summer. This simple recipe turns your harvest into a sensory love letter. And each bite reminds you: the earth delights in feeding you beauty. A dessert with balance, and one you can feel great about sharing with your littles!

🌿 Ingredients

• 4 ripe but firm peaches, pitted and sliced into small wedges

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

• 2–3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup, if preferred)

• Fresh herbs (optional, but elevating):
  – Thyme or basil for grounding sweetness
  – Lavender, sparingly, for a floral note

• Flaky sea salt, to finish

• A sprinkle of crushed pistachios or toasted almonds

• A sprinkle of goat cheese for added richness

Optional toppers:

• A dollop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème fraîche

• A spoonful of mascarpone or Greek yogurt

• A light drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium.

2. Brush the peaches with olive oil or butter.

3. Place cut side down on the grill for 3–5 minutes, until soft with distinct char marks.

4. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes to warm through.

5. Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with honey while still warm.

6. Sprinkle with sea salt and gently tear fresh herbs over top.

7. Serve warm with toppings of your choosing, or as they are, which is often enough.

Nourishment Note

Peaches are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and beta-carotene, supporting skin repair and immune balance. When paired with raw honey, you invite digestive ease and seasonal alignment. Herbs like thyme or basil lend more than flavor, they offer quiet support to the nervous system, grounding you after a long, sunlit day.
