Last week I picked up a big box of fresh figs and had so much fun experimenting with them. From pizzas and smoothies to fig tarts and salads, figs add a touch of magic to almost anything. But this Honey Roasted Figs Yogurt Bowl is one of the simplest and most delicious ways to enjoy them.
Figs have a rich, sweet flavour and a unique texture, when simmered gently with honey, lemon juice, and a hint of cinnamon, the figs become caramelised, rich, and bursting with flavour. A sprinkle of rosemary makes them even more special. Pair them with tangy, creamy yogurt and a little crunch of pistachios for the most satisfying combination of flavours and textures. You can also use coconut yogurt for a vegan option.
The best part is that this healthy fig bowl is naturally refined sugar free, , and made with only a handful of simple ingredients. Whether enjoyed on yogurt, toast, or crackers, it is a guilt free delight you can make ahead and keep in the refrigerator for a quick, nourishing treat anytime.

Ingredients

  

• 6 fresh figs halved (about 300 g)
• 2 tablespoons honey (40 g) or sugar free maple syrup for keto/vegan
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 g)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• A pinch of rosemary
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (120 g) or Almond yogurt for paleo/vegan option
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (10 g)

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Figs:

  Cut an X into the top of each fig with a sharp knife, dividing each fig into four sections.
• Cook the Figs:

  Heat a small non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Arrange the figs cut side down in the pan. Drizzle with honey, lemon juice, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Add rosemary if using.
• Caramelise:

  Gently spoon the honey mixture from the pan over the figs while cooking. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the figs are soft and caramelised. The figs will naturally turn a rich reddish colour as they cook.
