Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole figs Fresh figs
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the figs gently and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice each fig in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until just liquid. Remove from heat and stir in the honey and ground cinnamon.
Drizzle the butter-honey mixture evenly over the figs, ensuring each one gets a good coating.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the figs and add a pinch of sea salt for a touch of flavor contrast.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the figs for 12-15 minutes, or until they are softened, bubbling, and slightly caramelized.
Remove the figs from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Serve warm as is, or add a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt on the side for extra creaminess.
