Simple desserts are sometimes the best, and these roasted pears in ginger syrup are the proof!
This 30-minute dessert is easy to prepare and requires just 5 ingredients. Pears are baked until soft and golden brown and served in maple ginger syrup! Top with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut cream for a decadent dessert!
Making this recipe takes just 5 minutes and then about 25 minutes of baking. You peel and core the pears and place them in a baking dish.
Next, prepare the syrup that consists of maple syrup, coconut sugar, water, and some cornstarch that helps thicken the syrup.
Finally, add some finely sliced ginger, and it’s ready to go in the oven. Bake until the pears are tender, then flip them and place them under the broiler for a few minutes just to slightly caramelize.
The result is beautifully golden brown pears that have soaked up the maple ginger syrup. I love to serve the pears warm with a couple of tablespoons of ginger syrup, a dollop of coconut cream, and some crushed peanuts on top. Delicious.
What I love about this recipe is that it can be served warm in the fall/winter or cold in the summer. Oh, and if you have leftovers, just use them as a topping for oatmeal. It’s amazing!

Omg yum! Looks amazing. I can’t wait to try this with the pears I just got from the farmers market! Do you think the syrup would still carry the same consistency and flavor effect if I left out the coconut sugar?
Yes, you should get about the same consistency, coconut sugar just adds a subtle caramelized flavor. Feel free to omit 🙂
I made this using organic bosc pears, which I did not peel to retain all the goodness, and used raw sugar as that is what I had on hand. My guests opted for no nuts, as we had other desserts, but I would serve it with chopped pecans over peanuts, although I’m sure any nut would be good. I also added cinnamon, as it is very cold here. It was perfection. Everyone loved it! Tastes like much more work than it is.

Yuuumy! 🙂
The pears were perfectly roasted and the ginger syrup was a delicious addition! Yummy!
Thanks Tommy! 🙂
Can I freeze these, to last longer than 3 days?
I guess you could freeze it, but it will taste better fresh.
Simple to make and tastes great. Can easily be scaled up to serve more people. Try adding a bit more cornstarch to thicken the syrup.
