Roasted Figs With Ricotta

Submitted by Recipe Reader

"Figs cooked with honey and cinnamon over ricotta - from Claire Robinson of the Food Network. You can use vanilla yogurt instead of ricotta if you wish, or try them over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini with or without the ricotta. This reminds me of Recipe #186144, which is quite delicious."
