A warm, tender pear meets cool, tangy yogurt and crunchy pistachios. Honey and a little cinnamon make this simple dessert feel special.

Dessert International Vegetarian

Steps

Place the pear halves cut-side up in a small baking dish and drizzle with honey; dust with cinnamon.
Roast until the pear is tender when pierced with a fork and lightly golden at the edges, about 20–25 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with yogurt and pistachios.

Tips for Honey-Roasted Pear with Yogurt and Pistachio

Choose a pear that yields slightly at the stem but still feels firm; very soft fruit can collapse as it roasts.
For the best contrast, add the yogurt just before serving so it stays cool and distinct.
A small ovenproof dish keeps the honeyed juices close to the pear instead of letting them spread thinly.

Drink pairing

A cup of lightly roasted coffee
Its gentle bitterness balances the pear’s honeyed sweetness and the yogurt’s tang.

0% option: Unsweetened black tea

Storage

Refrigerate the pear and yogurt separately within 2 hours, for up to 3 days. Keep the pistachios in a dry, sealed container and add them when serving.
