HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 8x8 inches or similar) with olive oil.

02

Wash the fresh figs gently. Trim off the hard stem ends and then cut each fig into quarters, or halve them if they are very small.

03

Arrange the quartered figs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

04

Evenly sprinkle the chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest over the figs.

05

Drizzle the honey generously over all the figs and walnuts in the dish.

06

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the figs are tender and slightly caramelized, and the walnuts are lightly toasted.

07

Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with the orange blossom water. Serve warm as a delightful dessert.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of elegance, serve these figs with a dollop of Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The warmth of the figs will slightly melt the topping, creating a delicious contrast. You can also add a pinch of sea salt flakes before serving to enhance the sweetness.

Easy Substitutions

If fresh figs are not in season, you can use dried figs, rehydrated in warm water for 30 minutes, then drained. Almonds or pistachios can be used instead of walnuts. Rose water can replace orange blossom water for a different floral note. Maple syrup can be used in place of honey for a vegan option.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover honey-baked figs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a warm oven until heated through. They are also delicious served cold.
