Figs have two seasons, spring and fall, the latter being the biggest crop. So during the fall, when I come across fresh figs, I make sure to enjoy them a few times before the season is over, and that included these caramelly Honey Roasted Figs.

Often savored fresh, in salads, or in baked goods, my favorite way to eat fresh figs is roasted. A few simple ingredients are all figs need to really make a statement. Honey, butter, and vanilla combine to evoke and highlight the natural sweetness of fresh figs. Then a pinch of both salt and cinnamon round out the flavors by balancing the sweetness and adding just a slight warmth to these roasted figs.
