Ingredients
5Fresh Figs
2TbspBrown sugar
1-2tspCinnamon
4Rosemary sprigs
2TbspHoney
Instructions
Prep the Figs: First, wash and thoroughly dry your figs. Then, slice the figs in quarters and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The parchment paper ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Season: Next, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the fig slices. Toss the rosemary sprigs over them—the herb will infuse the figs as they roast.
Roast: Finally, bake for 40 minutes. The figs should be beautifully soft, slightly caramelized, and bubbling with juice.
Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10–15 minutes. This helps them firm up slightly and makes the final presentation better.
Drizzle with honey, and serve warm or at room temperature.
