Ingredients
- 2 lb purple figs -halved or sliced
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar -aged
- 2 tbsp wild honey
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar (optional)
- 1 lemon -juiced
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter organic
- 1/4 c fresh basil leaves for garnish
- 3 strips lemon peel
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400”F
-
Use the butter to coat a large roasting tray all over.
-
Rinse the figs well and cut off the stem. Slice them in half lengthwise and add them to the buttered roasting tray.
-
Sprinkle the coconut sugar all over the top, together with the vanilla extract, balsamic vinegar and honey. Squeeze the lemon all over and give everything a gentle toss to coat. Try to arrange the figs cut side down if possible in one single layer.
-
Roast the balsamic coated figs in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, until caramelized to your liking and the balsamic honey sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency.
-
Serve on pizza with goat cheese, ricotta or as a dessert sauce.
Recipe Notes
If you happen to forget about the figs in the oven and the sauce reduces a little bit too much, just hit the pan with a good squeeze of lemon juice to deglaze it.
