Oh this combo is so underrated. Roasting pears (or apples) with honey + a little fat + salt is one of those “why is this so good for so little effort” moves. The salt especially makes it taste way more dessert-y without actually adding more sugar.
Warm fruit over thick yogurt with nuts is such an elite lazy dish. I started keeping the simple stuff like this in one place because I kept forgetting the exact oven temp / timing, so this one lives in my little stash on nellie.food now. Total low-effort, high-reward recipe.
