Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of pear for this recipe?
A: Yes, this recipe works well with a variety of pears such as Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett. Choose pears that are ripe but still firm to hold their shape during baking. Softer pears may become too mushy when roasted.
Q: What can I use as a substitute for almond flour?
A: If you don't have almond flour, you can substitute it with regular all-purpose flour, oat flour, or even ground nuts like pecans or walnuts. Keep in mind that substitutions may slightly alter the texture of the crumble.
Q: Can I omit the rosemary or replace it with another herb?
A: If you’re not a fan of rosemary, you can omit it or replace it with a milder herb like thyme. Alternatively, you can skip the herb altogether and focus on the honey and vanilla flavors for a sweeter, simpler profile.
Q: How do I know when the pears are fully baked?
A: The pears are done when they are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork but still hold their shape. The crumble topping should also be golden and crisp. If the pears seem undercooked, you can extend the baking time by an additional 5-10 minutes.
Q: Can I make this recipe vegan?
A: Yes, you can make this recipe vegan by replacing the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar and using a plant-based butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter. Ensure the substitutions are melted, as required in the recipe.
Q: What's the best way to store leftovers?
A: Store any leftover roasted pears in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or enjoy them cold as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.
Q: Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
A: Yes, you can prepare the pears and crumble topping separately up to 24 hours in advance. Store the pears in an airtight container in the refrigerator and keep the crumble topping covered at room temperature. Assemble and bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
