Baked Pears with Pistachios

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 2 pears (firm, sweet, and juicy variety)
• Cinnamon, to taste
• 2 handfuls of raw pistachios, chopped
• Agave syrup, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
2. Prepare the pears:
   • Cut the pears in half and remove the cores.
   • Slice a small piece off the bottom of each pear half so they can sit flat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Add toppings:
   • Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the pear halves.
   • Drizzle with agave syrup to taste.
   • Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the top.
4. Bake the pears:
   • Cover the pears with aluminum foil and bake for 55 minutes in the preheated oven.
   • Remove the foil and bake for another 3 minutes to lightly toast the pistachios.
5. Serve:
   Serve the baked pears warm as a dessert or sweet snack. Pair with a dollop of yogurt for extra indulgence.

Tip:
For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom with the cinnamon.
