Step 1

Halve the peaches and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with about half of the maple syrup.

Step 2

For the grill: Preheat a grill (charcoal or gas) to medium-low heat (300°F to 350°F). Oil the grill grates. Place the cut side of the peaches directly on the grill grates. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until grill marks form. Flip the peaches and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, skin-side down.

Step 3

Alternatively cook in a grill pan: Heat a large grill pan over medium-low heat. Smear butter on the grill pan. Once it's melted, place the cut side of the peaches in the grill pan, in a single layer. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until grill marks form. Flip the peaches and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, skin-side down.

Step 4

Remove the peaches when they're slightly soft but not mushy and have great grill marks. With a pair of tongs, transfer to a serving plate.

Step 5

Brush a the remaining maple syrup over the tops. Serve them over ice cream or greek yogurt. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle on more maple syrup, if you like.
