Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium pears
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) honey
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) coconut oil or butter
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) cinnamon
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400°F (200°C), establishing a perfect roasting environment for the pears.
- Pear Transformation: Strip the pears of their skin using a sharp vegetable peeler, creating a pristine surface for caramelization.
- Pear Hollowing: Bifurcate each pear and meticulously remove the core with a spoon, crafting a clean interior ready for flavoring.
- Sauce Creation: Whisk honey, cinnamon, coconut oil, and vanilla extract into a harmonious, glossy elixir that will elevate the pears’ natural sweetness.
- Initial Roasting: Arrange pear halves cut-side down on a baking sheet, lavishly coat with three-quarters of the prepared sauce, and slide into the heated oven for approximately 30 minutes.
- Caramelization Process: Monitor the pears as they transform, developing tender flesh and burnished edges that hint at concentrated flavor.
- Final Flourish: Extract the roasted pears, allow a brief moment of rest, then cascade the remaining sauce over their glistening surface, creating a luxurious finish.
- Serving: Present immediately, celebrating the marriage of warm spices and natural pear essence.
Notes
- Prep Pears Perfectly: Use ripe, firm pears that hold their shape during roasting, avoiding overly soft or bruised fruits.
- Oil Matters: Choose high-quality coconut oil for a rich, smooth flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of the pears.
- Roasting Timing: Watch carefully during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning, as pears caramelize quickly at high temperatures.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a delightful contrast of warm and cool textures.
