Notes

Choose freestone peaches. This means you can easily remove the pit when you cut the peaches in half.
If you are having trouble removing the pit, use a melon baller to scoop it out.
Choose slightly firm peaches. Juicy peaches have more sugar which means they will be prone to burning on the grill or in the air fryer.
Grill peach halves rather than slices so they don’t fall through the grates on the grill.
You may need to adjust the cooking size depending on the size of your peaches.
