Name: Roasted Pear Crumble
Total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients: 2 ripe but firm Anjou or Bartlett pears, halved, cored; 2 teaspoons plus 2 Tbsp. olive oil; ¼ cup raw almonds or pecan halves, coarsely chopped; ¼ cup shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas); 2 tablespoons light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats; pinch of kosher salt; 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, preferably black; ½ cup mascarpone; 2 teaspoons sugar
