Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 –3 firm pears Bosc or Anjou work best
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

Preheat the oven.
  1. Set your oven to 250°F (120°C). Low heat helps the pears dry out slowly.
Slice the pears.
  1. Cut the pears into thin slices, about the width of a small coin. You can leave the seeds and center for that natural star pattern.
Arrange the slices.
  1. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep them spaced so they don’t overlap.
Mix your coating.
  1. Stir the honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon together. Brush it lightly over each slice.
Add a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  1. This brings out the sweetness and adds a little balance.
Bake.
  1. Put the tray into the oven and bake for 1½ to 2 hours. Flip the slices halfway through.
Watch the last 20 minutes.
  1. They should look golden around the edges. Remove smaller slices earlier if needed.
Cool completely.
  1. They crisp up as they cool, so give them time before storing or serving.

Notes

  • Use pears that feel firm when pressed. Soft pears get mushy in the oven.
  • If you like them extra crispy, bake a little longer but keep a close eye on them.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to three days.
