These delicious Roasted Pears with Cinnamon Honey Pecans are not only tasty but healthy too! Mr. Kringle said he felt like he was getting away with something by eating them and hey, that’s the goal! When you’re looking to impress but keep it simple, you can’t get much better than this!
I’ll be honest, I never gave pears a second thought because as a kid I was weirded out by the texture when they’re raw. But when they’re roasted, the flesh slices like butter and melts in your mouth. The pecans simmer in the honey as they roast and I had to keep an eye on mine as Mr. Kringle was giving mine a glance or two. Hands off buddy! Click the video below to see how you can get your hands on them!

Roasted Pears with Cinnamon Honey Pecans
Notes
Can also be roasted without sugar and honey if you're trying to cut back on it.
Ingredients
- 2 pears (ripe with slight give)
- 1 tsp coconut palm sugar (or preferred sugar)
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp cardamom
- 1 oz pecans
- 1 tsp cinnamon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut two ripe-ish pear down the middle.
- A melon baller is the best way to remove the seeds. Just gently press it into the flesh of the pear and scoop out the seeds and repeat with the other halves.
- For the rub, I use 1 tsp organic coconut sugar, 1/8 tsp of allspice and 1/8 tsp of cardamom. Give it a stir until well combined.
- Place your pear halves on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle your sugar mixture over the pears using small pinches.
- Place 3 or 4 pecans inside of the hollowed out pear.
- Drizzle a small amount of honey over top of the pecans. You don’t want to drown them in it but just enough to allow them to simmer in the honey as they roast.
- Place the pears in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Allow them to cool for about 3-5 minutes before serving.

I feel the same way about raw pears, but I loved them cooked and this recipe sounds so delicious and easy. Pinning!
Glad I’m not the only one! I think it’s how fibrous they are raw but when roasted, totally buttery and smooth!
These look so delicious! We recently roasted apples with a caramel in the center and it made my wonder why I don’t roast my fruit for dessert more often. Pears would be great!
I know, right!? Roasting fruit with a little spice gives such a nice pie flavor without the adding crust calories! 😉
I love pears and these sound a delicious way to eat more good roughage. Thanks for sharing at Blogger’s Pit Stop.
Definitely! You’re very welcome!
Nice, easy and healthy. Just enough sweetness for a dessert, but not too much when you’re curtailing sugar. Thanks
Absolutely! A nice way to have a treat without breaking the calorie bank!
Love the video and the recipe!
Thank so much!
I have never even thought about roasting pears. I can’t wait to try this. This is making my mouth water just thinking about it.
I hope you love it as much as we do!
Can’t wait to try this!
Thanks Amber!
Mrs Kringle, I like raw pears, but cooked pears are even better. And these sound like a perfectly delightful treat!
I hope you love them as much as we do! I wish I’d started roasting them long ago!
Yum!! I’m definitely going to be giving these a try, I’m always looking for healthy new recipes. I love pears and pretty much anything with honey 🙂 #DreamTeam
