How to make these roasted figs with honey and orange

Simply slice into the figs as if you were quartering them but don’t go all the way down. You want the figs to open out like a flower but not fall apart completely.

Put some of the orange flesh inside the open fig and the honey too and drizzle over the juice

Now simply bake in the oven

How to serve this dish

I like to serve my roasted figs with orange and honey very simply.

Just add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the plate.

Actually, you can also serve these baked figs on top of a slice of toasted bread for a more substantial dish.

This would be great for a weekend brunch.

Is this healthy?

Yes it certainly is. These roasted figs with orange and honey are the perfect dessert for those on the Mediterranean Diet. There is sweetness from honey but that is way better than using commercial sugars.
