Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe pears
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare it for indirect grilling.
Wash the pears thoroughly, then slice them lengthwise in half. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the cores.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.
Brush each pear half generously with the honey and olive oil mix, ensuring the cut sides are well coated.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt over the pear halves.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Arrange the pear halves on the grill, cut-side down.
Grill the pears for 5-7 minutes, until grill marks form and the pears begin to soften. The timing may vary depending on the ripeness of the pears.
Flip the pears and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, until they're tender but still holding their shape.
Remove the pears from the grill and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with crushed walnuts for added texture.
