Ingredients
  

  • 2 Pears (Bosc preferred but others are also fine)
  • 1/2 small lemon, juiced
  • cinnamon
  • 4 tsp raw pumpkin seeds

Instructions
 

  • First, slice pears lengthwise in half.
  • Cut a small slit on the round outside belly of the pears so they can sit flat in the casserole dish.
  • Scoop out the seeds using a melon baller or a spoon.
  • Place the pears in the casserole dish, and squeeze the lemon over top.
  • Add 1 tsp pumpkin seeds to each middle of the pear, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Notes

These go great with some vanilla coconut yoghurt, or your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream. My favorite way to enjoy them is with oatmeal in the morning. Enjoy!
