Wash and trim figs, then slice lengthwise.

Combine balsamic, rosemary, chile slices, and salt in a bowl.

Toss the figs in the balsamic, then lay them cut-side-down in a baking dish, or if you are cooking on a grill, use an oiled rimmed baking sheet.

Roast at 400 degrees F for 20-30 mins, watching them for the perfect amount of caramelization.

If you'd rather they be soft & juicy instead of browned and dry, cover them with foil and roast them for a shorter period of time.
