Balsamic Roasted Strawberries on Goat Cheese Crostini

Balsamic Roasted Strawberries Ingredients

• fresh strawberries
• sugar
• balsamic vinegar
• alt

Garnishes

• Baguette, sliced and grilled
• Goat cheese, room temperature
• Basil, sliced thin, optional.

How to prepare the strawberries:

1. Remove the green stem and leaves from the strawberries.
2. Core the strawberries and slice into quarters or bite sized pieces.
3. Spread the strawberries in a 9×13 pan in a single layer.
4. Sprinkle with the sugar and the large pinch of salt
5. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the strawberries.

Why use salt on strawberries?

Salt is my ‘secret’ ingredient. Shhhh. Don’t tell.

Salt is often overlooked in sweet recipes but just a hint of salt can enhance and compliment the sweet. Plus, the salt will draw out the moisture of the strawberries. Then this sweet strawberry juice can reduce and concentrate in the roasting.

How to roast strawberries:

• Set oven temperature to 425.
• Once heated roast the strawberries for 15 minutes. Do not cover the strawberries. The moisture needs to evaporate and concentrate in flavor.
• After 15 minutes stir the strawberries.
• Roast for an additional 20 minutes.

Balsamic Roasted Strawberries

While the strawberries are still hot, the balsamic vinegar will be very fluid but as it cools, it will thicken and become a fabulous reduction.

The balsamic roasted strawberries are soft, the sugars are concentrated and the balsamic is reduced! Perfect for spooning over goat cheese crostini.

A great gift for graduates just starting to set up housekeeping (is that what the kids are still calling it these days?) or for that couple who tying the knot soon!

How beautiful are these CLEAR containers. Crafted with a stain resistant material these containers also resist odors. (No one likes a stinky food storage container.) I was impressed with the seal on the lid. It made an actual ‘swoosh’ noise when I was closing the lid. It was actually TELLING me it was sealed. No guessing with these containers.
