Roasted Cinnamon Honey Pears

I’ve never met a pear I didn’t like! These roasted pears are simple, easy to prepare and can be matched with other elelmets like icecream and even crumbly blue cheese! Ok, now I need to make that too! 🙂

I had no idea the myriad of ways one can prepare fruits and veggies. I grew up in a meat-n-potato-beef-stew kind of family and never new much about other cuisines until I moved to NYC.

So, I stick to my upbringing by holding onto the concept of simple meals, and then add my own yummy spin. I value keeping recipes simple, fresh and minimal. Oh, and FUN!

I love this pear recipe! Next, I am going to prepare these with maple syrup and crumbly blue cheese melted over the top. Offering up a sweet AND savory dish. Who knows. Maybe I’ll even add a smidge of cayenne pepper too. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 4 Bosc pears
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup walnuts

---

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F
2. Slice a piece off the bottom of the pears so that the pear can easily stand up. Cut the pears in half and remove the seeds.
3. Place the halved pears open-face up on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes
4. While the pears bake, combine the walnuts, honey and cinnamon in the small bowl.
5. Remove pears from oven and coat the top with the cinnamon honey mixture. Save the the extra cinnamon honey for later.
6. Roast for 5-10 minutes longer until soft to the touch.
7. Serve with vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream and drizzle of the left over cinnamon honey.

Notes

• Before the second bake, glaze with the cinnamon honey and sprinkle on crumbly blue cheese for a savory element. You can also try sharp cheddar cheese too!
• You can use any pear. I prefer a bosc pear because to me it’s more stable and won’t come out mushy. Nothing wrong with warm mushy pears though!
