Roasted Fresh Pears

I had a few pears laying around and wanted
to make some type of a fresh fruit dessert.
i simply through them on a baking sheet,
drizzled maple syrup and cinnamon sugar
over them and baked them until tender.
This was amazing tasting and great with
a scoop of vanilla ice cream for lunch.

Ingredients
6 ripe pears, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 rounded teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Butter an 8" baking pan.
Arrange the quartered pears skin-side up
on the buttered baking pan. In a separate bowl,
whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter,
lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
Pour over the pears and place in oven
to roast for about 20 minutes.
Remove pan from oven, use a spoon or
tongs to flip the pears, then return
to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Serve while still hot with vanilla ice cream.
