Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese, Walnuts & Honey
These Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese, Walnuts & Honey will make the perfect appetizer that your guests will love! Sweet figs go perfectly with tangy goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, and sweet honey drizzle.
These figs are perfect to serve as an appetizer or easy dessert alongside this Kale Pesto Pasta or my Mediterranean Braised Chicken Thighs.
Figs for an appetizer OR dessert!
This dish is truly one of my favorite things that I’ve ever made. I know, that’s saying a lot. I look forward to figs being in season ALL YEAR LONG. And then when they do hit the shelves, I stock up and eat them non-stop for the short time that they are available.
I love to put sliced figs on peanut butter toast, and of course just eat them on their own. But nothing beats roasting them with goat cheese, then topping them with walnuts and honey. I’m telling you, it’s Heaven.
The best part is that they are SO versatile! You can put them with sweet or savory ingredients, for either an appetizer OR dessert!
This dish makes a really great appetizer for a dinner party, or even a simple snack. It takes only minutes to put together, and then almost no time under the broiler. You only need a few simple ingredients, and you have a dish that feels fancy, but is so so simple and delicious.
Ingredient for an easy roasted fig dish
- FRESH FIGS – You can get any type of figs that are in season, but you want to make sure they are ripe
- CREAMY GOAT CHEESE – I like to use plain goat cheese for this, but you can also use an herb filled goat cheese to amp up the flavor
- RAW WALNUTS – walnuts all the perfect amount of crunch with the soft figs
- HONEY – the sweet combination of savory goat cheese and sweet honey is delicious!
- SEA SALT – you always have to have the salty with the sweet!
