Rice Free Honey-Roasted Pears

These honey-roasted pears are the kind of effortless, elegant dessert that makes everyone think you spent far more time in the kitchen than you actually did. Firm Bosc or Anjou pears go into the oven cut-side up, brushed with a warm glaze of honey, butter, and apple cider vinegar that caramelizes into something deeply golden and fragrant. Fresh thyme sprigs tucked alongside each half add a subtle herbal note that keeps the sweetness from feeling one-dimensional. A halfway baste with the pan juices is the only real effort required, and the payoff is pears that are tender all the way through with lightly crisp, jammy edges. This is naturally grain-free from start to finish — no fillers, no starches, just whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Spoon the glossy pan juices over the top before serving and scatter on a few fresh thyme leaves if you want that extra pop of color and aroma. Warm from the oven, these are stunning on their own or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of crème fraîche.
