Serves 6-8
12 fresh figs
about 1 Tbl extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
Trim the stems from the figs. Slice the figs in half length-wise. In a small mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the sliced figs then season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat. Arrange the figs, sliced sides up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until the figs are light golden brown and tender, about 12-15 minutes. Cool slightly, and serve warm.
