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