Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Wash and pat dry the figs and strawberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries and halve them. Slice the figs in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and olive oil to create a light glaze.
Place the halved figs and strawberries in a baking dish. Drizzle the honey glaze evenly over the fruit.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt, if desired, to enhance the flavors.
Transfer the dish to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until the fruits are soft, fragrant, and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Serve warm as is, or pair with whipped cream, yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
