FAQ
What fruits are best for grilling?
Fresh fruit that will maintain its shape over the coals includes peaches, melons, pineapple, pears, avocado, tomatoes, bananas, and figs.
What happens when you grill fruit?
While it might seem like a great idea to just toss slices on alongside the protein, you’ll end up with hot, charred fruit instead of the special joy that comes from the caramelization of the sugars, which takes time.
Is grilled fruit healthy?
Grilling fruits improves the availability of minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients, preventing lifestyle diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, and enhancing digestive health because it is high in fiber.
How long does it take to grill fruit?
Fruits burn easily because of all the sugars, so only grill it until it’s tender and barely browned. Most fruits typically take three to five minutes to grill.
