This Roasted Figs & Prosciutto Recipe Is From How Easy Is That Cookbook by Barefoot Contessa.

Ingredients Needed:

• 20 large fresh ripe figs
• 20 thin slices Italian prosciutto (about 8 oz)
• Good olive oil

How To Make Roasted Figs & Prosciutto?

1. Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F.
2. Prepare the figs: Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut each fig in half lengthwise through the stem.
3. Cut the prosciutto: Using a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips.
4. Wrap the figs: Take a strip of prosciutto and wrap it around the center of each fig half, making sure the ends overlap slightly.
5. Arrange on sheet pan: Place the wrapped figs cut side up on a sheet pan and brush them lightly with olive oil.
6. Roast for 10 minutes until the prosciutto becomes slightly crisp and the figs are warmed through.
7. Serve warm for a delightful appetizer.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Ripe Figs: Choose figs that feel soft but not squishy, and smell sweet for the best taste.
• Thinly Slice the Prosciutto: Make sure the prosciutto slices are thin so you can easily wrap them around the figs without being too salty.
• Lightly Brush with Olive Oil: A little olive oil on top helps the prosciutto get crispy and brings out the flavor of the figs.
• Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the figs in the oven. You want the prosciutto to be a bit crispy and the figs soft, but not too mushy.
• Serve Warm: Enjoy these right out of the oven when the figs are soft and the prosciutto is still crispy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Roasted Figs & Prosciutto cool until they reach room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Place the figs on a baking sheet and warm them for about 5-7 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crisp.
