You've probably seen roasted strawberry recipes all over the web. They are a really easy recipe to make and take virtually just a few minutes to prepare before popping in the oven. As the strawberries bake, they become sweeter and juicier. They also form a beautiful thick syrup as they bake. The balsamic adds to enhance the flavor of the berries and completes the overall taste.
There are several different ways to use roasted strawberries:
* As a parfait topped with whipped (or whipped coconut) cream
* In muffins or bread
* As a topping for cheesecake
* On top of your morning oatmeal
* In a fruit crisp
* In a grilled cheese sandwich with brie cheese
* To replace roasted strawberries with regular strawberries when making strawberry ice cream. (Or top your ice cream with them!)
* As a topping for french toast or waffles
* In shakes or smoothies
* As a dessert with white chocolate drizzled on top
