11 Delicious Grilled Fruit Recipes

If your grilling consists just of meat, you are losing out!

The high heat from the grill caramelizes the natural sugar in the fruit, making it even more delectable.

The greatest part is that grilling fruit just takes a few minutes, making it an excellent dessert choice for entertaining.

For strong heat, gas and charcoal grills work best, but a griddle pan on your stove will suffice.

Just be sure to clean the grill grates thoroughly. You don’t want the fruit to pick up the taste of the last thing you grilled.
