Prepare the Pears

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the Pears: Slice the pears in half lengthwise, removing the cores with a spoon or melon baller. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for a rustic feel, or peel them if you prefer a smoother texture.
3. Arrange the Pears: Place the pear halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Season the Pears

1. Drizzle the Honey: Drizzle honey over each pear half. This will help caramelize them and give them a natural sweetness.
2. Add Olive Oil: Pour a small amount of olive oil over the pears, ensuring they’re lightly coated to help them roast perfectly.
3. Sprinkle Cinnamon: Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the pears, adding that warm, spicy flavor that pairs so well with the fruit.
4. Vanilla and Salt: Add a touch of vanilla extract for extra depth and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

Roast the Pears

1. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the pears for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are soft and the edges start to caramelize. You can check doneness by poking them gently with a fork; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
2. Optional Step: For extra caramelization, you can broil the pears for 1-2 minutes at the end of the roasting time, but be careful not to burn them!

Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve Warm: Once roasted, remove the pears from the oven and serve them warm. You can enjoy them as-is, or top with your favorite add-ins.
2. Add Toppings: For an extra indulgent touch, serve with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Garnish with chopped nuts or fresh mint for a little crunch and color.
