Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ
- 0.5 cup finely crushed hazelnuts
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs fresh mint
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core the pears, then slice each pear into quarters and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mix lemon juice and honey in a small bowl, and then drizzle over the pears. Toss gently to ensure all pear slices are coated.
In a separate small bowl, combine wheat germ, crushed hazelnuts, and ground cinnamon.
Arrange the pear slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the hazelnut mixture evenly over the pear slices.
Scatter pumpkin seeds over the pears for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the nuts are golden brown.
While the pears bake, prepare the glaze by heating almond milk and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Stir continuously to avoid scorching.
Once the pears are done, remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Arrange the baked pears on a serving platter, drizzle with the almond milk glaze.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs before serving.
