These Roasted Figs are fabulous! Those naturally sweet figs become extraordinary when roasted, intensifying their flavor and making them the star of any meal. As a side dish, these succulent figs balance roasted or grilled meats. Alternatively, they can take center stage on a cheese board, offering a contrast to the creaminess of the cheese. Or add them to a cottage cheese bowl or oatmeal. You can serve them hot, fresh out of the oven, or at room temperature.
