Roasted Pears w/Honey & Rosemary

I found myself with some ripe seckel pears and with the holiday season now officially upon us, wanted to create a healthier dessert. I think my parents were surprised at how much they enjoyed this :) The tart greek yogurt and honeyed pears seemed to be in perfect balance, with the slight hint of rosemary, mmmm. I licked my bowl clean!



Roasted Pears w/Honey & Rosemary
Recipe by Shannon (inspired by a few others)
serves 3



8-9 seckel pears
honey
1 sprig of rosemary
juice of 1/2 lemon
greek yogurt or ice cream, for serving (I used 2% Greek Yogurt)

Preheat oven to 400degrees.

Cut pears in half or thirds, depending on size, and core. Place in baking dish (I used a loaf pan). Drizzle with honey and lemon juice. Toss pears, then add rosemary. Roast until soft and almost caramelized (~20min?).

Cool slightly before serving over greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey (minus the rosemary!).
