It always thrills me when quick and easy recipes turn out to be so delicious! And that is exactly the case with today’s Roasted Strawberries.
Roasting strawberries – or any fruit for that matter – really deepens and intensifies the flavors of the fruit and the sweetness. In our recipe today, we tossed the strawberries with a little bit of sugar before roasting them under high heat in the oven, and the juices from the strawberries created a wonderful syrup.
The roasted strawberries you see here in our photos were added to our Roasted Strawberry Crème Fraîche Ice Cream but they would also make a delicious topping for strawberry shortcake or any other dessert.

Roasted Strawberries
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the strawberries, then remove the stems and cut berries in half or quarters (depending on the size of your strawberries). Place cut strawberries in a bowl.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the berries and stir to coat.
- Pour the berries onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes – turning halfway through the baking time – until the berries have given up some of their liquid and they are soft and tender.
- Remove from the oven and carefully pour strawberries and juices into a jar or bowl. Cool before using.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

I’m pretty sure that roasted strawberries are the greatest out of all the roasted fruit out there. There’s something magnificent about them!
What a wonderful idea of roasting the strawberries first. Sounds so good!
I keep reading about roasted strawberries and it’s time I try them! They sound delightful. 🙂 I can’t wait for your ice cream recipe! The two sound like they’d be incredible together.
This looks like summer in a jar for sure! Fresh strawberries are wonderful, but roasted are even better served on toast with butter!! 🙂
Roasted strawberries are my favorite strawberry sundae topping. That and a little balsamic reduction drizzled over the vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got a Big Kid sundae to wow a crowd.
I finally roasted my first strawberries this spring and used them on shortcakes—why did I wait so long?? Your ice cream sounds incredible—can’t wait to see it 🙂
I would pour these over ice cream!
I love roasted strawberries (I use the seeds of a vanilla bean in mine). I can’t wait to see that ice cream recipe!
Oohh – great idea Heather! I’m going to try adding the vanilla the next time!
