With strawberry season in full swing, I’m coming home with berry bounty from the farmers market. Sometimes (most of the time) I will buy more than we can eat in a week. If you happen to be behind in your strawberry eating, this recipe for EASY ROASTED STRAWBERRIES is for you.
All you need are three ingredients: a couple of baskets of berries, maple syrup and balsamic syrup (and a pinch of sea salt – I stand corrected – four ingredients). During the baking process, the strawberries release their juices. The juices bubble away with the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar to make this just slightly sweet, tangy sauce to complement the flavors concentrated in the roasted berries.
These roasted strawberries are a terrific ice cream topper, in baked goods, or a terrific addition to breakfast. I’ve used the strained syrup to make strawberry cocktails & mocktails – just sayin’.
You’ll see these roasted strawberries make an appearance in upcoming recipes, so stay tuned.
