Roasted Pear Crumble Recipe

Roasted Pear Crumble Recipe

  • 2 ripe but firm Anjou or Bartlett pears, halved, cored
  • 2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds or pecan halves, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, preferably black
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  1. Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°F. Place pears, cut side up, on a small baking sheet, drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil, and roast on upper rack until soft, 20–30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, toss almonds, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, oats, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil on a small baking sheet. Toast on lower rack, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10–12 minutes. Remove from oven and mix in sesame seeds. Let cool.
  3. Whisk mascarpone and sugar in a small bowl. Spoon mascarpone onto plates and top with pears and nut-oat crumble.
