16 medium fresh figs, halved lengthwise
8 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
2 tbsp balsamic glaze Shop
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This will ensure the prosciutto crisps up beautifully without sticking.
2 Gently wrap each fig half with a piece of prosciutto, ensuring the cut side is covered. The prosciutto should cling to the fig, creating a neat package.
3 Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped figs on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Drizzle them generously with the balsamic glaze, allowing it to pool slightly in the fig halves.
4 Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the figs, then season with salt and black pepper. The rosemary will infuse a lovely aroma as they bake, and the salt and pepper will enhance the sweet and savory notes.
5 Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy, and the figs are softened and slightly caramelized. The kitchen will fill with a wonderful aroma as they cook.
6 Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the prosciutto-wrapped figs cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best served warm, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.

Tips & Notes

Choose figs that are ripe but still hold their shape. Very soft figs collapse and leak juice in the 375°F oven, which keeps the prosciutto from crisping.
Wrap the prosciutto snugly and tuck the loose end under the fig half. It shrinks and grips as it bakes, but an untucked end lifts and curls.
Choose a balsamic glaze labeled gluten-free, since it is a thickened, packaged product. A thin second drizzle after baking adds shine, as some of the first one cooks onto the parchment.
