Ingredients and Variations
One of my favorite things about this easy recipe is that you only need three simple ingredients. Pick up some fresh berries on your next trip to the grocery store so that you can enjoy this tasty dish.
- Fresh strawberries
- Honey – Instead of using honey try swapping it out for pure maple syrup. You will still get a great sweetness with a little maple flavor.
- Aged balsamic vinegar – You need the vinegar, not the balsamic reduction.
How to Make Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
Making these roasted strawberries is super simple. Just follow these step-by-step instructions so you can enjoy this dish.

- In a medium bowl, pour honey and balsamic vinegar over strawberries.
- Gently fold the ingredients together.

How To Store Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
Storage – Store leftover roasted strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating – Reheat the strawberries in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until they are warmed through.
Sandra’s Pro Tips
I’ve made this recipe several times now, and I’ve come up with a few helpful tips to share with you from my recipe testing.
- Place the strawberries in a single layer on your baking dish, if they overlap then they won’t roast evenly.
- If you are enjoying these on there try garnishing them with fresh basil, greek yogurt, or even a sprinkle of goat cheese for an amazing flavor.
- Want to add some additional flavor? Try adding a pinch of salt to your strawberries.
- You may need to quarter large strawberries so that they cook evenly with the rest of your fresh berries.

We grow whacky strange shaped Quinalt Strawberries in our garden that are very perishable. I have been trying to keep up with them, the raspberries and the blueberries. So thrilled to find this recipe. I rarely have more than a pint of berries, but it works out perfect as a topping to my breakfast (yogurt, oatmeal or cottage cheese). Truly these strawberries are one of the best treats I’ve ever had!
Oh yes, so hard to keep eating those fresh berries. Have you tried the vinegar/water rinse on your berries? It keeps them fresh for a little longer. Enjoy!
I made this last night…AMAZING!! You are right, it’s good with so many things…I had it for breakfast mixed with greek yogurt and as a late night snack with ice cream. Makes my mouth sing!
