Honey-Roasted Pears with Feta and Cranberries: A Sweet, Savory, and Festive Delight

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Pears:

Slice the pears in half lengthwise and remove the cores using a melon baller or a small spoon. Place the pear halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the Pears:

Drizzle the pears with 2 tablespoons of honey and fresh lemon juice, ensuring the halves are evenly coated.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and golden, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Assemble the Dish:

Once the pears are roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Top each pear half with crumbled feta cheese, fresh cranberries (or dried cranberries), and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, if desired.
Drizzle and Garnish:

Drizzle with extra honey for added sweetness and garnish with fresh mint or thyme leaves for a beautiful touch of color and freshness.
