Coconut Free Honey-Roasted Pears

Roasted fruit is one of those simple pleasures that feels far more impressive than the effort involved, and these honey-glazed pears are a perfect example. A quick glaze of honey, butter, and apple cider vinegar gets brushed over halved pears before they go into a hot oven, where the cut sides turn deep golden and caramelized at the edges. Fresh thyme sprigs tuck in alongside each pear as they roast, lending a subtle herbal note that keeps the whole thing from tipping into cloying sweetness. A pinch of sea salt ties it all together beautifully. Many store-bought desserts and flavored syrups sneak in coconut-derived ingredients, so making this at home with a short, straightforward ingredient list gives you full control over what's on the plate. The pan juices get spooned right back over the pears before serving, so nothing goes to waste and every bite is glossy and fragrant. Serve them warm as a dessert, a brunch side, or even alongside a savory cheese board — they're versatile enough to earn a regular spot in your rotation.
