Method

Preparing the Pears

  1. 1

    Roasting the Pears

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the red pears in half, remove the core, and cut them into wedges. Place the pear wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Drizzle the pear wedges with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Roasting

    Roast the pears in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Making the Vinaigrette

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
