Ripe Bosc pears roasted until tender with a savory and crunchy topping make an excellent side dish for pork tenderloin. For a main-dish salad option, add this warm and earthy combination to mixed baby greens, baby kale or peppery arugula topped with cubed grilled chicken. Make it even faster with skinless, cubed or shredded rotisserie chicken. This quick and versatile dish takes only 20 minutes of prep time with very little knife work. Covering your baking sheet with aluminum foil takes away the need for time consuming clean-up. You can roast the walnuts and pears in the same oven to consolidate your baking time.
