How to Make Salt Roasted Pears With Caramel Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve 4 ripe but firm pears (such as Bosc or Anjou). Remove the cores.
- Place pears cut-side up in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup coarse sea salt.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until pears are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Do not stir.
- Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color.
- Carefully pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream (do this slowly as it will bubble vigorously). Whisk constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.
- Once pears are roasted, let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle generously with the warm salted caramel sauce and serve immediately.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
