Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh figs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons walnuts or almonds
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
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.
In a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over low heat, or grease the dish lightly to prevent sticking.
Arrange the figs cut-side up in the skillet or baking dish. Drizzle the honey evenly over the tops of the figs.
Add a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar (1 teaspoon) over the figs to enhance their flavor.
Strip the leaves from a single sprig of rosemary and scatter them over the figs for an earthy, fragrant aroma.
Roughly chop the walnuts or almonds and sprinkle them around and on top of the figs.
Season the figs with a small pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to balance the sweetness.
Place the skillet or dish in the preheated oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until the figs are soft and caramelized, and the nuts are lightly toasted.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted figs warm, either as is or with a dollop of whipped cream, mascarpone, or vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
