A simple and elegant dessert featuring roasted strawberries glazed with honey and balsamic vinegar, served warm over creamy vanilla ice cream for a perfect sweet and tangy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (about 300 grams), hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (480 ml)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and hull about 2 cups (300 grams) of fresh strawberries, then cut each berry in half.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved strawberries with 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Stir gently to coat evenly.
  4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the strawberries in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the berries are softened, glossy, and juices are bubbling with slight caramelization.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes to thicken the syrup.
  7. Spoon the warm roasted strawberries and their juices over about 2 cups (480 ml) of vanilla ice cream.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the strawberries on the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Use ripe but firm strawberries for best results. You can roast a minute or two longer if the syrup is too thin. Stir halfway through roasting for deeper flavor. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar and use dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
