Slightly underripe pears are perfect for roasting because they soften just enough in the heat of the oven. Serve them with any kind of roasted pork, or as part of a composed plate with Calvados Pan-Fried Pork Chops and Roasted Winter Kale.

Ingredients

 2 medium red pears, cut into eighths and cored, but not peeled
 1/4 teaspoon ground ancho chile
 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
 1 sprig (4-in.) rosemary
  Coarse sea salt and black pepper to taste
