Notes
* This recipe doesn’t require any oil. However, if your foods tend to stick to your grill or pan, use a nonstick spray or oil first. Also, if roasting in the oven, use a lined baking sheet to avoid sticking.
And be careful not to let your peaches stay on the grill or in the oven too long; otherwise, they start to dry out too much or overcook. They should be tender and juicy, not mushy or dry.
