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

So glad you're enjoying these, Veronica! :) Thank you for sharing.

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!
Audrey says
Thanks for sharing, Alex. I'm so happy you and your guests enjoyed it :)

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!
Audrey says
Thanks so much for sharing! I know what you mean, the smell is amazing :)
Carolyn Hess says
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.
Audrey says
Hi Carolyn,
Mulberries would be amazing for this :) I wish I still had access to a mulberry tree! Enjoy it.

You're welcome, Charlene :) And thank you!
Kara says
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?
Audrey says
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 :)

Great Recipe !! I love strawberries any recipe so much. And here got a new idea Roasted balsamic Strawberries, so can't wait to try making this awesome recipe on later today for myself and family. Thanks for sharing the great ideas.
Audrey says

Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit says
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 :)
Audrey says
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...
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit says
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...
Audrey says
Awesome! Can't wait to see what you make :)
anna says
Can I substitute another fruit for strawberries?
Audrey says
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!
