Roasted Pear Crumble

NUTRITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Pears are a great swap to mix up your traditional apple crumble

Greek yogurt adds a little tang while upping the protein content of this dessert.

INGREDIENTS

2 ripe but firm pears, halved and cored

2 tsp plus 1 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup raw almonds or pecan halves, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup pepitas

2 Tbsp light brown sugar

2 Tbsp old fashioned oats

pinch of kosher salt

1/2 cup greek yogurt

1 tsp honey

1/8 tsp cinnamon

sprinkle of cardamom

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375F

2. Place pears, cut side up, on a small baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Roast on the upper rack of oven until soft, 20-30 minutes. The riper the pear, the less time it will need. Let cool slightly.

3. While pears are roasting, toss almonds, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, oats, salt, and remaining 1 Tbsp oil on a small baking sheet. Toast on the lower rack of the oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4. Whisk Greek yogurt and honey together in a small bowl. Spoon yogurt mixture onto plates and top with pears and nut-oat crumble.
