Caramelized at the edges and fragrant with fresh thyme, these roasted pears are the kind of effortless dessert that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. A simple glaze of honey, butter, and apple cider vinegar transforms humble fruit into something deeply golden and sticky-sweet, with just enough savory contrast from the sea salt to keep things interesting. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required — it just works as written. The basting step halfway through roasting is the secret to that glossy, caramelized finish that makes each pear half look like it came out of a restaurant kitchen. Serve them warm with the pan juices spooned generously over the top, and a scatter of fresh thyme leaves if you want that extra herby lift. This is the kind of recipe that earns you compliments with almost no effort, whether you're rounding out a dinner party or just treating yourself on a weeknight.
