Variations & Tips for Making Grilled Peaches

• Use plant-based yogurt: Swap Greek-style yogurt for a non-dairy coconut or almond yogurt to make this dessert vegan.
• Spice it up: Sprinkle cinnamon or cardamom on the peach halves before grilling for added warmth.
• Sweetener swap: Use maple syrup or agave instead of raw honey for a vegan adjustment.
• Alternate toppings: Replace granola with toasted nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut for crunch variation.
• Grill in air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 370°F, spray peach halves with oil, and air-fry 5 minutes(s) per side. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
