Discover the magic of this simple yet sophisticated recipe that highlights the natural beauty of seasonal ingredients!
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and pat dry the fresh figs. Cut a small slit in the bottom of each fig to make inserting the rosemary sprigs easier.
Prepare the rosemary sprigs by stripping the leaves from the bottom half of each sprig, leaving a tuft of leaves at the top for decoration.
Gently thread a rosemary sprig through the bottom slit of each fig, ensuring the sprig pierces through the fruit without splitting it apart.
Place the skewered figs onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.
Lightly season the figs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Roast the figs in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Carefully remove the figs from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle them with honey while still warm.
Transfer the roasted rosemary skewered figs to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or alongside a cheese platter.
