Brown Sugar Roasted Strawberries
Incredibly delicious roasted strawberries! I love roasting strawberries so much. Our recipe is super simple, and their flavor concentrates in the oven, making them even more delicious! The roasting process makes them jammy and sweet. I really cannot get enough of these roasted strawberries! Roasting strawberries makes them better. Their flavor and juices concentrate as they roast in the oven, making them taste even more delicious. I really cannot wait for you to try them! I serve these in a variety of ways! They make an incredible (and simple) dessert when you top them with some whipped cream (or vegan whipped cream). I love them added to my everyday oatmeal and yogurt bowls, and I have even used them as a topping for my favorite pancakes and waffles! Key Ingredients Strawberries: For the absolute best results, use fresh, ripe red strawberries all the way to the green tops. These have the most flavor, which only reduces and concentrates as the berries roast in the oven. That said, roasting is an incredible way to use up more lackluster berries, too! The flavor won’t be as incredible, but if you roast less flavorful strawberries, you’ll concentrate on what flavor they do have and make them taste better. Brown Sugar: I love the sweet caramel-like flavor of brown sugar, but honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or even granulated sugar work, too. If you’d prefer to leave the sugar out, you can! Spice: This is optional, but I love tossing some cinnamon or coriander with the brown sugar and strawberries before roasting. It adds a little extra aroma and warmth. It’s up to you, though!

These take 30 to 40 minutes in the oven (it smells incredible, by the way). Then, you can keep them in the fridge for days. These really are one of my favorite ways to work with strawberries.

Brown Sugar Roasted Strawberries PREP 5 mins COOK 30 mins TOTAL 35 mins PREP 5 mins COOK 30 mins TOTAL 35 mins Roasted strawberries are shockingly good. As they roast, the flavor of the berries cooks down and concentrates. Use this recipe with ripe strawberries for incredible flavor, or use it to enhance less desirable strawberries! These make a fantastic dessert with some whipped cream, but I also love them in the morning added to my everyday oatmeal or Greek yogurt. The spice is optional. Cinnamon is really delicious, but my favorite is coriander, which adds a citrusy, warmth that works really well with the roasted berries. 4 Servings Directions 1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
