How To Rehydrate Dried Figs
Place dried figs in a single layer in a shallow dish.
Pour hot water over figs just until covered.
Place lid on dish (or cover with foil or plastic wrap). Let sit for at least 30 minutes before checking. (Rehydrating figs can take up to 2 hours depending on how dried the figs are and how big they are.) Figs are rehydrated when fully plump again.
Use a slotted spoon and move figs to a plate with paper towel to drain.
HOW TO MAKE ROASTED FIGS
Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut reconstituted figs into halves.
Place figs, cut side up, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with honey and then sprinkle with cinnamon evenly over each fig.
Roast figs for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly bubbling and a little caramelized.
Remove from oven. Drizzle a little more honey over each fig before serving. Serve immediately while warm: alone, with bread or crackers, goat cheese, as part of a charcuterie board and more.
