Servings: 4 to 6
Calories: 43kcal
Ingredients
- Ripe figs type and quantity of choice - I used 6 black mission figs
- Pure maple syrup*
- Sea salt
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Turn your oven on to the high broil setting and move one of the oven racks to the shelf that's second closest to the top.
- Slice the figs in half length-wise and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with maple syrup, a small amount of sea salt, and cinnamon.
- Broil for 6 to 8 minutes, or until juices are seeping out and figs are golden-brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow figs to cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
*You can also use brown sugar, agave, or honey. If using honey, keep a close watch on the figs, as honey has a lower burn temperature than pure maple syrup.
