Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe but firm pears
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the pears thoroughly and cut each pear in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or a teaspoon to remove the core and seeds, creating a small cavity in the center of each pear half.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and ground cinnamon.
Brush the cut sides of the pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Lightly grease the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Place the pears cut side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and the pears are slightly caramelized.
Flip the pears over using tongs and brush the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture generously over the cut sides. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the pears are tender but still holding their shape.
Remove the pears from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle the grilled pears with chopped walnuts for added crunch.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
Serve the vegan grilled pears warm as a delightful and easy dessert.
