Add the figs to the bowl. Mix to coat the figs halves with the cinnamon honey mixture. Set aside.

Note: Give the figs a quick mix before adding to sheetpan.
-
Place the pans in the oven and roast for a total of 25 minutes, fliping the tenderloins half way of the cook time and shuffle around the veggies.
Note: I usually flip tenderloins at the 15 minutes mark.
