    There are few things that roasting does not make better, and more delicious.

    Roasted potatoes are an old, and perhaps obvious favourite. In fact most vegetables are amazing roasted, and so are most fruits. These Bay, Thyme and Honey Roasted Pears are a perfect example.

    Not only does roasting produce amazing flavours, it is low effort too. Especially with this dish. Simply toss everything together and let the oven do the hard work.

    The end result is pears that are perfectly soft and aromatic, without being overly sweet. I went for a ratio of ¼ cup of honey to ½ cup water, but if you like things a bit sweeter you can certainly use more honey. The bay leaves (I only had dried, but fresh would be wonderful) and thyme add an extra and slightly unexpected element.

    These Bay, Thyme and Honey Roasted Pears are infinitely versatile too. Serve them with a dollop of cream for a simple dessert or on top of granola or porridge for breakfast. I like them with with a dollop of whipped coconut milk and a spoonful of granola or toasted nuts for a little bit of crunch.

      I love your breakfast suggestion! I found some great local Manuka honey at the markets and I can imagine that it would be divine in this dish. Thanks Jennifer 🙂

      This is such a gorgeous recipe! I love the use of those savoury spices to contrast the sweet pear. Also, the pear juices look amaaaazing. Yum!
