Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lb purple figs (-halved or sliced)
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar (-aged)
  • 2 tbsp wild honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar ((optional))
  • 1 lemon (-juiced)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter (plant based)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • 3 strips lemon peel

Instruction

  • 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.
