Roasted Figs
Description
This Roasted Figs recipe involves selecting ripe fresh figs, cutting them in half lengthwise, and coating them twice with a mixture of granulated sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves. The figs are arranged cut side up on a baking sheet and broiled about 6 inches from the element until the sugar melts and caramelizes, and the figs soften and release their juices.
The broiling stage quickly heats the sugar and spices to form a caramelized crust, lending a crisp, sweet exterior texture that balances the tender, juicy fig flesh beneath. The cinnamon and cloves provide a warm spice note that enriches the natural sweetness of the fruit.
These roasted figs are best served immediately while warm, showcasing their juices and softened texture. They can complement breakfast dishes, cheeses, or be a simple dessert on their own.
For best results, choose ripe figs, and keep leftovers stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 pound figs halved lengthwise, fresh
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Position a broiler rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat your broiler. Coat a large cooking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and spices.
- One at a time, dip the figs, cut side down, into the sugar mixture to coat. Then coat the figs a second time with the sugar mixture and arrange cut side up on the baking sheet.
- Broil the figs, watching closely, for about 4 minutes, or until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize and figs soften slightly and begin to ooze their juice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe figs to ensure the best sweetness and texture for roasting.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within three days for freshness.
