Roast Until Tender and Caramelized
Garnish and Serve
Substitute the unsalted butter with an equal amount of melted coconut oil or a high-quality vegan butter for a delicious plant-based version.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger or cardamom to the maple syrup mixture for a different layer of warm spice.
If you have a nut allergy, garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or a sprinkle of granola for a similar crunchy texture.
Replace the maple syrup with honey (if not vegan) or brown sugar for a slightly different flavor profile. If using brown sugar, mix it with the melted butter until it dissolves.
Pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which is crucial for digestive health. Fiber helps promote regular bowel movements, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and can aid in weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness.
The walnuts used as a garnish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat that is beneficial for heart health. These healthy fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and support brain function.
Both pears and cinnamon contain powerful antioxidants. These compounds help protect your body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to chronic diseases and aging.

The best pears for roasting are firm varieties that hold their shape well when cooked. Bosc and Anjou are excellent choices. Bartlett pears can also be used, but make sure they are not overly ripe, as they tend to become softer more quickly.
Absolutely! To make this recipe vegan, simply replace the unsalted butter with an equal amount of melted coconut oil or your favorite plant-based butter.
