Scroll To Recipe Print Recipe

I love fruit desserts. The simpler the better. This dessert of roasted figs with honey and orange is simplicity itself but tastes amazing. The juiciness and sweetness of the figs goes perfectly with the zesty orange, a marriage made in foodie heaven. This makes the perfect end to any meal.

Roasting figs makes something that is sweet by nature even more heavenly. Add honey and orange and you get one of those desserts that is simplicity in itself yet tastes so damn good you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making this for years. It will instantly be on your favourite recipe list and a go-to for supper parties.

Holidays on a plate

Greek sunshine, easy living and just the good life all round. While this simple recipe might not actually be able to buy you a plane ticket and whisk you off to the sunshine, it can certainly bring a little bit of the flavour of sunshine to your plate wherever you are. We all deserve a bit of sunshine in our lives.

This recipe is for two people so just double it up etc for more portions, I allow 2 figs per person, but quite honestly I could scoff the two portions quite easily myself as I love this so much. With only 3 ingredients, this recipe is simplicity itself. Just make sure that the figs are ripe and juicy and you’re good to go!

How to make these roasted figs

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 these roasted figs

I like to serve my baked figs with range 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.
