Ingredients
Peaches – You can use white or yellow peaches, just make sure they are ripe

Honey– You will need 2 tbsp of light honey
Sea Salt Flakes (Optional) – Maldon sea salt flakes for that sweet salty combo
Pistachios – Raw or toasted finely chopped pistachios adds a nice crunch and flavor
Instructions
Wash the peach then cut in half and remove the pit.
Pre-heat the gas grill to medium or warm a grill pan.
Brush each of the cut sides of the peach with the 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the peach cut side down onto the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes until you see nice grill marks and the peach is starting to soften, flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until the peach is warmed through and soft.
Remove from the grill and place into a serving bowl cut side up.
Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of each peach half.
Drizzle each peach with the honey, then sprinkle with the sea salt flakes and pistachios.
