Description
Roasted Strawberries are a simple and delicious way to enjoy strawberries. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and creates a lovely caramelized flavor. They are perfect as a topping for desserts, yogurt, or oatmeal, or simply enjoyed on their own.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (about 3 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the hulled and halved strawberries with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Spread the strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the strawberries are tender and slightly caramelized. The exact roasting time will depend on the size and ripeness of your strawberries.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting to brighten the flavors.
- Store leftover roasted strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Roasted strawberries can be frozen for longer storage. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
