A delicious & non-traditional way to enjoy strawberries is to roast them in balsamic vinegar. Balsamic roasted strawberries have a balance of tang and sweet. I serve balsamic roasted strawberries on a goat cheese crostini. Another fabulous option is to pour balsamic roasted strawberries over ice cream.You will be shocked at how quickly this appetizer comes together.

Balsamic Roasted Strawberries on Goat Cheese Crostini

Balsamic Roasted Strawberries Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup quality balsamic vinegar
• large pinch of salt

Garnishes

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

How to prepare the roasted 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 your 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.
