• 2 ripe but firm pears
• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Infused Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Equipment

• 1 baking dish small to medium
• 1 sheet Parchment paper optional for easy cleanup
• 1 Paring knife for halving pears
• 1 small spoon or melon baller for removing cores
• 1 Pastry brush for coating pears
• 1 set Measuring spoons for oil, honey, and spices

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a small baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. 2. Halve the pears lengthwise and scoop out the cores with a spoon or melon baller.
3. 3. Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in the baking dish and brush them with the Cinnamon Infused Olive Oil.
4. 4. Drizzle the honey over the pears, then sprinkle on the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
5. 5. Add a few small pieces of butter to the top of each pear half and scatter the chopped almonds around the pan.
6. 6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pears are tender, glossy, and lightly caramelized at the edges.
7. 7. Spoon the pan juices over the pears, finish with lemon juice, and serve warm.

Notes

Use pears that hold their shape when baked, such as Bosc or Anjou. If you want a little extra shine, spoon the juices from the pan over the pears right before serving. Serve warm for the best texture and aroma.

Recipe Tips

Choose pears that are ripe but still firm so they roast into tender slices without collapsing. If your pears are very juicy, roast them cut-side up for the first half of the bake, then baste once with the pan juices.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these pears warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, toasted almonds, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt if you want a lighter dessert feel. They also work beautifully over oatmeal, pancakes, or simple buttered cake.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Rewarm gently in the oven or microwave until just heated through.

Variations

Swap the almonds for chopped pecans, add a pinch of nutmeg, or finish the pears with orange zest for a brighter citrus edge. For a more dessert-forward version, drizzle with extra honey just before serving.
