Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm—overripe peaches will fall apart.
Don’t move peaches too early; caramelization prevents sticking.
Adjust chili flakes to taste—this should be a gentle heat , not spicy.
Try hot honey for a shortcut sweet-heat finish.
Leftover grilled peaches are amazing in oatmeal, salads, or smoothies.
