Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil

Step 2

Arrange pear wedges on the baking sheet, leaving space in between to prevent overcrowding. Lightly brush each pear slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roast pears for 30-40 minutes flipping pears halfway through cooking.

Step 4

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

While pears are roasting, add 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to a small sauce pan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until is reduced to ⅓ cup.

Step 6

To serve, divide arugula, roasted pear slices and blue cheese between 4 plates. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
