Roasted Balsamic Strawberries

Roasted Balsamic Strawberries are the perfect way to mix things up for this delightful summer berry!

It’s practically Summertime (finally!) and fresh fruit, like these gorgeous strawberries, will soon be in abundance!  I was walking through the grocery store yesterday and strawberries were on sale for $1.77 a pack – WHAT!?  So, of course, I had to grab them up.  How do you create something delicious and perhaps different with this amazing berry?  Roasted balsamic strawberries, my friends!

I can most certainly eat a whole pack of these by myself, and hubby is not a “seedy” fruit fan…but I didn’t want them to go bad before I got to them.  PLUS, I was looking for a fun idea for #toastthursday (Haven’t heard of it?  Check out my Instragram feed; it’s kind of my thing.)

Did you know?

Strawberries are not only yummy, they are packed with vitamins, fiber, and lots of antioxidants.  And according to Organic Facts, they improve high blood pressure, arthritis and other cardiovascular issues, are beneficial to eye care and proper brain function, and greatly benefit our immune system!

I bet you’re asking, “Why in the world would you need to ROAST fresh strawberries when they are already amazingly delicious right out of the package??”  The answer is this:  caramelized goodness.

I mean look at them?  In all their gloriousness atop creamy ricotta cheese and honey on crunchy grain bread with some fresh basil for a fresh kick…mmmmmm!

AND talk about easy!

Make these soon and come back and tell me how much you like them!

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
