Honey, balsamic and rosemary roasted figs

Ingredients

  • 1kg firm-ripe fresh figs (about 35 figs), halved lengthwise

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 5 sprigs rosemary

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Place figs, cut sides up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with balsamic vinegar, honey and vanilla; sprinkle with salt. Add rosemary sprigs to baking sheet.

  2. Roast in preheated oven until figs soften slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; flip figs using tongs. Sprinkle baking sheet evenly with butter cubes.

  3. Return to oven, and roast at 200 degrees C until butter is melted and balsamic vinegar is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. Discard rosemary sprigs. Sprinkle figs with lemon zest.
