Grilled Banana Split with Chocolate Ice Cream and Smoked Almonds
Smoked almonds highlight the bananas' grilled flavors in this 5-ingredient dessert. While you can grill ripe bananas that have some black spots, they're easier to move around if they are completely yellow and slightly firm.
Grilled Peaches with Black Pepper and Basil-Lime Syrup
The black pepper adds a surprising aromatic and spicy flavor to the sweet grilled peaches. The recipe here makes more syrup than you'll likely need but it will keep in the refrigerator for at least 1 week and is great in a cocktail or with sparkling water.
