How to Grill Fruit in the Oven

If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can still grill your fruit in the oven. The exact flavor and grill marks won’t turn out the same, but it’s still going to turn out absolutely fantastic.

Preheat the oven. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F.
Prepare the fruit. Slice your chosen fruit into pieces and place them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Season. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon or sugar for added flavor.
Grill. Grill the fruit for about 10-15 minutes, making sure to turn them over halfway through.
Garnish. Drizzle with honey and garnish with mint leaves.

Tips for Grilling Fruit (and Not Burning It!)

Grilling fruit can be a fantastic way to add a smokey, savory flavor to your dishes, but it can be a tricky process to get just right. Here are some tips that might help:

To avoid burning your fruit, it’s crucial to keep a close eye on it and adjust the temperature as needed. Start by preheating your grill to a medium-low heat, and lightly oil the grill to prevent sticking.
Cut your fruit into evenly sized pieces and place them on the grill. If you’re new to grilling fruit, don’t put too many on the grill at once so that you can watch the individual pieces more closely.
For firmer fruits like pineapples or watermelon, grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. For softer fruits like peaches or plums, grill for 1-2 minutes per side.
Keep an eye on the color and texture of your fruit to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn. Sometimes, suggested cooking times may be completely off.
