Description
Grilled Apricots with Honey & Thyme is a 10-minute summer dessert that’s smoky, sweet, and herby. It highlights ripe stone fruit with simple ingredients for maximum flavor and minimal effort.
Ingredients
4 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: Greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, or whipped mascarpone for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Brush cut sides of apricots with olive oil or melted butter.
3. Place apricots cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly.
4. Transfer to a plate, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with thyme and a pinch of sea salt.
5. Serve warm, optionally topped with Greek yogurt, ice cream, or whipped mascarpone.
Notes
Use ripe but firm apricots to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
Substitute thyme with mint or basil for a different flavor profile.
This recipe also works with peaches, plums, or nectarines.
