    Roasted Balsamic Strawberries Recipe {Gluten-Free, Vegan, Paleo, Refined Sugar-Free}

    So I've been seeing a lot of balsamic strawberries on the web for quite some time now. I'm not quite sure why I never gave them a try -- perhaps it just seemed too simple a recipe? Or maybe it's because I love my strawberries just the way they are?

    Either way, I've finally succumbed to the "foodie" pressure and made a batch of roasted balsamic strawberries and discovered what all the fuss has been about.

    This stuff is golden! They go so well with so many things -- ice cream, yogurt, some vegan cream alternatives, and of course on their own too. In fact, I think I've been enjoying these waaaay too much. I hope you will too!

    Serve strawberries and sauce warm with some ice cream, or cool them off to enjoy with some yogurt. Or just eat them as they are.

    P.S. Here's an easy vegan yogurt recipe you can make with these strawberries.

      Would this work with Rhubarb?

        Yes, I think this will be lovely with rhubarb, or a mix of rhubarb and strawberries.

      Made this for dinner tonight (using frozen strawberries) to go over Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding. It was AMAZING! So good I almost drank them by themselves! And all of my guests loved this! Putting the parchment paper in the baking dish saved a lot of cleanup!

      These strawberries smell divine and taste as good as they smell! I ended up using them in the strawberry basil ice cream - mmmm good. Making them again tonight. Who knows what they'll end up in!

      I just found your blog. I am so going to use this recipe. Right now my mulberries are just starting to ripen up. I am so glad someone asked if they could use other fruit in it. My roasted balsamic mulberries are going to go great over homemade coconut cream vanilla ice cream.

        Hi Carolyn,

        Mulberries would be amazing for this :) I wish I still had access to a mulberry tree! Enjoy it.

      Yum! Since local strawberry season just ended where I am, I'm looking ahead to peach-picking time, and I think this would be a great idea for peaches as well. Any thoughts on modifications if using peaches?

        Hi Kara, absolutely! I love roasted balsamic peaches -- use the exact same recipe. Actually most stone fruit work really well for this -- so use whatever's in abundance :)

      This does look really simple! I'll have to hunt down some not-too-expensive strawberries and some balsamic vinegar, but then this is going to happen :)

        Do you have a Costco nearby? My friend just hauled over 2 ginormous bags of frozen organic strawberries from there for me {I think she was hinting at something... ;) }, and it cost next to nothing! May be worth having a look there -- apparently it's a new product they've got.. Of course nothing beats fresh strawberries, but this was quite a sweet deal...

          I was considering using frozen ones if I couldn't find any fresh ones on sale. No there are no Costcos around here, but I may just have to splurge ;) I have a few recipe ideas stirring in my head incorporating these...

        Hi Anna,

        Yes, absolutely! Some other fruits I love roasting like this are plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, pineapple, mango, blackberries, and figs. I think figs and plums are my favorites :) Enjoy it!
