How To Cook Pears on Stove
First prep your pears. Wash them and peel them (if that’s your preference). Cut them into even slices.
Heat a skillet to high and add oil. Arrange pears in skillet. Wait until oil starts sizzling (about 1 minute).
Once skillet is hot, stir up the pears and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring the pears every minute. The pears are cooked through when they are soft and tender.
Now it’s time to add the seasonings. Sprinkle on cinnamon and add a drizzle of honey. Use spatula to stir up pears and coat them in toppings.
Turn off heat and move pear slices to a serving plate or bowl.
Cooking Tips
- Be sure to separate out the slices in the skillet for even cooking
- If at any time the pears seem to be burning on one side, turn down the heat to medium
- Add the seasonings at the end for best results
Why Should You Not Refrigerate Pears?
You can refrigerate them if you prefer to eat them cold. However, they are best left out in a room temperature area as cold air can compromise the crisp texture.
Should Pears Be Peeled Before Eating?
The peel of a pear is not only edible, it is chock full of nutrients. So it is suggested to eat the peel of a pear. However, if you prefer the texture without the peel, you can certainly remove it before eating or cooking a pear.
What To Serve With Sautéed Pears
This pan sautéed fruit goes deliciously with frozen treats. Try adding the pears to some Healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream (Dairy-Free, Vegan, Paleo), Green Tea (Matcha) Ice Cream, or Banana Soft Serve Dairy Free Ice Cream.
It’s also brilliant on breakfast dishes like Air Fryer Apple Crisp, Air Fryer Baked Oatmeal, and Almond Flour Blueberry Cake Recipe (Gluten-Free).
