Notes
- Use ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during roasting.
- For a nut allergy-friendly version, omit the toasted nuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be adjusted according to preference or omitted if unavailable.
- The maple syrup drizzle adds a natural sweetness, but can be replaced with honey if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
