Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe but firm pears
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the pears thoroughly and cut each pear in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or a teaspoon to remove the core and seeds, creating a small cavity in the center of each pear half.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Brush the cut sides of the pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 5
Lightly grease the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the pears cut side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and the pears are slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Flip the pears over using tongs and brush the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture generously over the cut sides. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the pears are tender but still holding their shape.
Step 8
Remove the pears from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 9
Optionally, sprinkle the grilled pears with chopped walnuts for added crunch.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
Step 11
Serve the vegan grilled pears warm as a delightful and easy dessert.
