Roasted Strawberries
There is something magical about what the oven does to strawberries.
A tray of fresh berries turns soft, glossy and wonderfully jammy, with the most delish syrup in the pan. The aroma that fills the kitchen while they roast feels amazingly festive.
The first time I tried roasting strawberries, I was totally desperate! I had bought a big box that looked gorgeous and perfect, but one bite into it, they were so bland. I couldn't bring myself to waste them.
So I tossed them with a little sugar, vanilla and a squeeze of lemon and let the oven do the magic.
The strawberries became deeper in flavor and incredibly delicious. Ever since then, this has become one of my favorite quick fruit recipes to make during strawberry season.
How to use these syrupy Berries
I have been making roasted fruit for years, especially during berry season when we end up buying more fruit than we can finish quickly. I have a good collection of strawberry recipes here in this kitchen to prove that.
We love to drizzle the thick syrup on this delish apple pancake. French toast is something my boys love, a swirl of this juicy berry on them would make it heavenly.
If you are a chia pudding person, try to snuggle a spoonful of roasted berries in between the layers for a berrilicious treat.
Add them to your bakes, like this strawberry cinnamon bundt cake or this strawberry puff.
You make these berries once, take my word dearies, it will be a regular at home and you wont go back store bought toppings again.
