Figs (fresh and ripe) - 20
Prosciutto - 20 slices
Figs: rinse and dry
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small, sharp knife cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut side up on a sheet pan.
Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.
