Ingredients
2 tablespoons unflavored coconut oil
4 red Anjou or Bartlett pears, cored and quartered
Coconut sugar, for sprinkling
1 cup apple cider
Candied ginger, chopped, for topping
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In an ovenproof nonstick large skillet, melt the coconut oil over high heat. Sprinkle the pears generously with sugar and place, cut-side down, in the skillet; cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Turn over the pears and pour in the apple cider; roast in the oven until tender, about 25 minutes. Transfer the pears to a platter and cook the remaining cider over high heat until reduced to a syrup, about 5 minutes. To serve, drizzle over the apple cider syrup and top with candied ginger.
