    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.




    Place pears in a large bowl and toss with honey, rosemary and salt. Arrange pears on the baking sheet and roast until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly and cut pear halves into slices.
