Roasted Pears in Ginger Syrup
Recipe by Thomas Pagot at Full of Plants
Ingredients:
- 3 medium pears
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or brown or cane sugar)
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- inch fresh ginger minced
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200°F).
- Peel and halve the pears. Remove the core and place them cut-side down in a large baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, coconut sugar, water, cornstarch, and minced ginger. Pour the syrup over the pears into the baking dish.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pears are soft and cooked. Remove from the oven, flip the pears and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm or cold, and top with crushed peanuts and a dollop of coconut cream or vanilla ice cream. Baked pears will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Cook’s Notes: Depending on the type and size of the pears, you may have to adjust the baking time. Test the doneness with a thin knife. The pears should be perfectly soft but not mushy.
