Roasted Pears with Yogurt

---

Ingredients
-several pears, how many depends on how many servings you want!
-a few tablespoons maple syrup
-vegan butter, I like Miyoko's or Milkadamia
-granola, preferably ones with some nuts like pepitas or roasted almonds
-cinnamon
-nutmeg
-a teaspoon or so vanilla extract
-vegan yogurt, I used Culina Bourbon Vanilla coconut milk yogurt in the photo, and it was totally worth the splurge!

Directions
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Cut pears in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds/core in the middle with a spoon. For better stability, you can slice a small piece off the bottom of the pear halves.
-Mix maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour into the holes of the pear halves. Add a slice of vegan butter to each pear hole. Sprinkle pears with granola and cinnamon/nutmeg.
-Bake in a casserole dish or on a pan with tinfoil until the pears are tender through. I don't have a specific time for you as every pear is different, but perhaps check with a fork after 20-30 minutes.

I served these with vegan chocolate cake. I won't say the brand because it wasn't that great, but it made for a fancy dessert.
