Roasted Figs with Honey and Ricotta

I saw fresh figs at the produce stand, so of course I had to get some so I could try out some new recipes.  This is another simple and relatively healthy dessert so enjoy it without feeling guilty. I’ll admit I was a little unsure about this recipe, but the figs with ricotta and a little of the honey mixture was actually amazing. I am going to have to go back to the produce stand so I can buy more fresh figs while they are in season.
