How to Grill Fruit
How to grill fresh fruit
Yield: 1 batch
Materials
- Grill of choice (see above for several ideas)
- Grilling tools of choice (tongs, trays, spatulas, etc)
- Foil, skewers, or grill trays (for smaller fruits)
- Choice of fresh fruit firm for best results
- Vegetable Oil
- optional Glaze (simple syrup, honey, maple syrup, etc.)
Instructions
FOR LARGER PIECES/FRUITS (pineapple, mango, peaches, etc.)
- Prepare fruit by cutting, coring, peeling, slicing, etc. Keep in mind, larger pieces will be easier to grill.
- Preheat grill of choice to high heat. Spray grate (away from flame) or rub oil on with oil-soaked cloth and tongs.
- Add fruit to hot grates/surface and let it be for at least 2 minutes. Brush on glaze if desired.
- Once you see the edges starting to soften and brown, flip, turn, or remove.
- Serve as desired.
FOR SMALLER PIECES/FRUITS (cherries, strawberries, etc.)
- Wash and prepare fruit by removing pits, stems, etc. Add to pre-soaked skewers, if using.
- Preheat grill of choice to high heat. Add grilling trays, if using, and spritz with vegetable oil.
- Add fruit to tray, foil, skewer and let it be for at least 1 minute (size of fruit dependent). Shake or gently move around to allow more surface contact with grill/tray.
- Brush with glaze if desired.
- Remove and serve.
