Roasted Figs With Honey Recipes

ROASTED MISSION FIGS WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse the figs and pat them dry, then cut off the stems and, without cutting through the base, halve them from top to bottom. Set the figs upright in a dish just big enough to hold them snugly.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet with the salt, honey, and cinnamon, then spoon it over the figs.
• Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the fruit is heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

ROASTED FIGS WITH BABY GREENS AND HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut a small "X" in the top of the figs and squeeze it gently to crown it slightly. Put the figs on a sheet pan, drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the figs are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Put the mixed greens and chopped herbs in a bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss gently with your hands.
• In a small bowl, combine the honey, warm water, and lemon juice; whisk with a fork to combine.
• To serve, divide the greens between 2 plates, mound the chunks of gorgonzola cheese on the side of each and place 2 roasted figs in the center of the salad. Drizzle the whole thing with the warm honey vinaigrette.

HONEY-ROASTED SALTED FIGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Whisk 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup honey in a large bowl. Add 10 ounces each of dried Turkish and Black Mission figs; toss to coat.
• Arrange figs in a single layer on prepared sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Roast until fragrant and caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately loosen figs from sheet with a metal spatula. Let figs cool slightly, loosening again after 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and serve with assorted grapes.
