Organic sourcing

Figs and lemons are worth sourcing organic; their softer skins can absorb more pesticide residues according to the EWG Dirty Dozen logic.

Ingredients

• 8 fresh figs
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash the figs and slice them in half lengthwise.
3. Place the figs cut side up in a baking dish.
4. Drizzle the honey evenly over the figs.
5. Sprinkle the lemon juice and cinnamon over the figs.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the figs are tender and the honey has caramelized slightly.
7. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract until well combined.
8. Serve the roasted figs warm, topped with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt and sprinkled with chopped walnuts.

Notes

• Substitute almonds for walnuts if preferred.
• Use plain yogurt for a less sweet version.
