1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or other nonstick liner.
2. Mix the citrus juices together in a nonreactive bowl (stainless steel or glass). Peel and quarter the pears, core each quarter, and slice in half or thirds. Place in the bowl with the juice. Toss to coat the pears well with citrus juice to prevent browning. Add the sugar and spices and toss again gently to coat.
3. Place coated pears on the baking sheet. Roast about 5 to 8 minutes until browned on bottom and sizzling.
4. Remove from oven and cool. Serve as is, or alongside Vegan Orange Ginger Cake.
