Honey-Roasted Figs
This delicious recipe works best with fresh figs so that you get that wonderfully jam-like consistency when you roast them, coupled with the creamy mascarpone and the crunchy pistachios.
Ingredients
- 8 large fresh, ripe figs
- 4 T mascarpone cheese, goat cheese or Greek yogurt
- 3 T pure honey divided
- ¼ c pistachios shells off
Instructions
- Wash and dry figs thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise and trim off the tough point and set aside.
- Place pistachios in a food processor and pulse them until finely chopped. If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop them using a sharp knife. Don't process too long or you will end up with pistachio butter (good in its own right but not for this recipe).
- Preheat oven to 350⁰F.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the figs on the prepared baking sheet cut side up. Make sure that they are side by side and that there is space between the figs so that they roast properly.
- Drizzle the tops of the figs with 2 T. of honey.
- Place baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Top each warm fig with a small dollop of mascarpone cheese, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Drizzle over all with the remaining tablespoon of honey.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
