Roasted Figs with Yogurt Recipe
Fresh figs roasted with honey and olive oil until soft and jammy, then spooned warm over creamy Greek yogurt with a scatter of toasted walnuts. A simple, naturally gluten-free treat that works just as well for breakfast as it does for dessert.
Ingredients
- 10 fresh figs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- A few sprigs of thyme or rosemary
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- Chopped walnut for garnish
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Rinse the figs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut a small “X” on the top of each fig.
- Place the figs in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil and honey over the figs.
- Add the sprigs of thyme or rosemary around the figs for additional flavor.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Roast the figs for about 30 minutes basting them occasionally with the juices released until they become soft and slightly caramelized.
- While the figs are roasting, spread the plain Greek yogurt evenly in a serving bowl.
- Once the figs are done, remove them from the oven. Place the warm figs on top of the yogurt.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the figs and yogurt. Garnish with a few fresh thyme or rosemary leaves. Drizzle a bit more juices from the pan and serve immediately. This dish is perfect as a light dessert or a sweet breakfast treat!
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump figs that give slightly when pressed for the best flavor and texture.
- Spread the yogurt in a thin, even layer so the warm figs and juices reach every bite.
- Add walnuts and herbs just before serving to keep them crisp.
- Best enjoyed immediately, while the figs are still warm; store leftover figs (without yogurt) in the fridge for up to 3 days.
