Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the figs and pat them dry. Slice a small cross into the top of each fig, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create 12 strips.
Wrap each fig with a strip of prosciutto, starting from the base and securing it snugly around the fruit. Place the wrapped figs onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Drizzle the figs with olive oil and a light coating of honey, ensuring each fig is evenly covered.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper over the figs for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the figs are tender.
Remove the figs from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the roasted figs with balsamic glaze right before serving for a final touch of sweetness and acidity.
Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a cheese platter. Enjoy!
