Roasted Fresh Figs

Fresh figs go bad so fast after picking them,
I had to find an easy way to cook them up.
I was going to braise them to put on a
cheesecake until I found this roasting recipe.
They are soft and almost too sweet tasting,
one half is good enough to serve as a
fruit topping on some vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:
fresh figs
olive oil
honey
freshly ground pepper
salt to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and trim the stems off the figs,
cut in half lengthwise.
Place figs in a casserole dish cut side up.
Drizzle with honey, olive oil, and a pinch
of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Put in oven and roast for 15-20 minutes.
Until soft and starting to caramelize.
