Ingredients
  

  • 2 firm thin-skinned pears, such as Bartlett
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions
 

  • If using the oven, preheat to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the pears into 1/4-inch thick slices and place them in a bowl.
  • Drizzle the pears with the olive oil and honey and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat the pears evenly in the seasoning.
  • Place the pears lined up next to year other in a single layer on the sheet pan or in the air fryer. Roast in the oven until browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cook in the air fryer at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve the roasted pears as is as a side dish or as a topping for salads. My favorite salad is mixed greens, the roasted pears, dried cranberries, toasted nuts, and some kind of cheese like crumbled goat cheese or feta. Toss everything together with a balsamic vinaigrette...yum!
