A coworker of mine was kind enough to bring in some fresh figs from her fig tree! The first time she gave Tom and I them we let them spoil. I vowed to not let that happen again. A few days later she left me some more...but the challenge was that Tom was traveling! So off to google I go! My first thought was figs and cheese so just needed to decide how to prepare. I found that figs are very versatile and you can roast, bake, or stuff! I decided on roast! I found this recipe.
Roasted Figs Recipe(serves 2-4)
Ingredients
a dozen fresh figs
1 tablespoon olive oil2 tablespoons honey
freshly ground pepper (optional)
salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Trim the stems off the figs and cut in half. Place them in a casserole dish cut side up. Drizzle with honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Put in oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Until soft and starting to caramelize.
I followed the recipe and then served as an appetizer with some of my favorite cheeses!
