Method

01Preheat the oven to 180°C. Halve the pears lengthways and scoop out the core with a small spoon. Place cut-side up in a baking dish.
02Fill the hollow of each pear half with walnuts, drizzle with coconut oil and maple syrup. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cardamom — the spices will create a warm aroma as they bake.
03Bake for 20 minutes. Check doneness with a skewer or knife — the pears should be soft and the edges lightly caramelised. Serve warm.
