Grilled apricots are a quick and delicious summer treat that combines the natural sweetness of ripe apricots with the smoky flavor from the grill. Topped with creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy toasted hazelnuts, and a drizzle of honey, this dish is perfect as a light dessert or a refreshing snack.

  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Apricots

  • 4 ripe apricots

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for grilling the apricots.
  2. Prepare Apricots: Slice the apricots in half and carefully remove the pits.
  3. Oil the Grill: Brush the grill grates with olive oil or a neutral oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  4. Grill Apricots (First Side): Place the apricot halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to soften.
  5. Grill Apricots (Second Side): Flip the apricots and grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing them to become tender without falling apart.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Remove the grilled apricots from the grill and place them on a serving plate. Top each apricot with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts, and drizzle with honey for a perfect balance of flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the apricots are ripe but firm for best grilling results, avoiding overly soft fruit that may fall apart.
  • You can substitute hazelnuts with other toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts based on preference.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop for similar results.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to taste, or use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to keep the recipe dairy-free.
  • This recipe works well as a light dessert or a healthy snack option.
