ROASTED FIGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA

Contributed by Mary Jo Tansy
  • 6 to 8 Mission figs, halved
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Fresh ricotta or fat-free Greek yogurt, for serving
Preheat the oven to 400°. 

Put the figs, cut side up, in a baking dish. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and whisk in the honey, cinnamon, and salt. 

Drizzle the hot honey butter over the figs and roast in the oven until very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. 

Divide the fresh ricotta or fat-free yogurt among 4 serving dishes and top with the warm figs and sauce. 

These hot figs are really great over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini!
