INGREDIENTS

There are the following ingredients for Baked Pear with Walnuts:

  • 1 small pear, halved
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

FULL NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Carbohydrates: 20g
  • Protein: 1g
  • Fat: 5g
  • Fibre: 4g
  • Sugar: 15g
  • Sodium: 0mg

PREPARATION

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures even baking and a warm, tender result for the pear.
  • Prepare Pear: Cut the pear in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Place the cut side of the pear halves in a small oven-safe baking dish.
  • Add Toppings: Drizzle each pear half with honey, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and chopped walnuts. The honey will caramelise slightly as it bakes, adding a rich, natural sweetness.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pear is soft and the walnuts are lightly toasted. Check for tenderness by poking the pear with a fork; it should slide in easily.
  • Cool And Enjoy: Let the pear cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a dessert, snack, or even a light breakfast.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

15-20 minutes

TIPS

  • Choose Ripe Pears: Ripe but firm pears work best, as they’ll soften nicely in the oven without becoming mushy. Bartlett or Anjou pears are ideal for baking.
  • Stabilise The Pear: If your pear halves wobble, slice a tiny bit off the rounded side so they sit flat in the baking dish.
  • Enhance Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dessert, drizzle a little extra honey after baking. You can also add a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking for added caramelisation.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Raisins Or Cranberries: Sprinkle 1 tsp of raisins or dried cranberries on top for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Oat Crumble Topping: Mix ½ tbsp oats with the walnuts for a crumbly, nutty topping.
  • Spiced Flavour: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger for an extra layer of autumn-inspired warmth.
  • Cheesy Topping: Add a few crumbles of soft goat cheese after baking for a sweet-savoury twist.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover baked pear in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before enjoying.
  • Freezer: Freezing is not recommended as the pear texture can change significantly once thawed.
