Make extra figs for salad
The roasted figs also make a nice addition to a green salad along with some walnuts and goat cheese. If you are roasting for salad, make sure their is more room between the figs in the roasting pan. If the figs are too close they stew, which is great for yogurt because you get a nice sauce. For salads, you want the figs to roast and caramelize individually with less residual liquid. The difference is simply how closely you pack them in the pan.
The inspiration for this recipe was my friend Craig who loves fig yogurt.
