Roasted Pear Parfait

There is no guilt in having fruit, nuts and yogurt for breakfast (or dessert)…right? J This incredibly easy Fall recipe is one of my favorites in colder weather; and I am a huge fan of parfaits year-round. I especially like this one because by using the pear as the bowl for your parfait, you also get all the vitamins and nutrients in the skin of the pear.

What you will need:

ü 2 pears (Bartlett, Anjou or Bosc)

ü 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

ü 2 tablespoons honey

ü 1 tablespoon cinnamon

ü 1 lemon

ü 1 cup Greek yogurt

To get from A to B:

ü Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

ü Halve the two pears and take a spoon or melon baller to each in order to remove the seeds from the middle.

ü Cut the lemon in half and give it a squeeze over the cut side up over the four pear halves

ü Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the halves and drizzle honey over them as well

ü Place the pears cut side up in a pan or on a baking sheet and roast them until soft, about 25 to 30 minutes.

ü Remove from pan and place in a bowl. Place a 1/4 cup yogurt on to the top of each and add walnuts.

Enjoy!
