Ingredients

• 12 Fresh figs
• 6 Fresh rosemary sprigs (stems trimmed for skewering)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh figs under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Slice each fig in half lengthwise and set them aside.

Step 3

Prepare the rosemary sprigs by trimming off most of the leaves, leaving a tuft at the top for visual appeal. Sharpen the stem ends slightly to make them easier to use as skewers.

Step 4

Thread two fig halves onto each rosemary sprig, ensuring the cut sides face outward for even cooking.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Using a brush, lightly coat the figs with the olive oil and honey mixture.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the rosemary skewers with figs onto the grill, cut side down. Grill for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the figs are caramelized and warmed through.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 10

Drizzle the grilled figs with balsamic glaze and serve immediately as an appetizer or dessert.
