Ingredients

  • 2 pints fresh strawberries 1.5 pounds or about 4 cups sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, date syrup, sugar, or another sweetner of your choice
  • 1 vanila bean or 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cinnamon stick optional
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs optional
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F degrees.
  • Rinse and hull strawberries. Leave tiny ones whole, halve or quarter the rest so they’re all roughly the same size and cook at about the same rate. Add strawberries to a baking dish. 
  • Add maple syrup (or sweetener of choice), vanilla, cinnamon sticks and thyme (if using or other spices of choice) to baking dish with strawberries. Toss to coat strawberries evenly. 
  • Bake for 20 min, stirring once along the way. 
  • Enjoy straight out the oven or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 

Notes

  • When possible, buy organic and local strawberries. 
  • Store fresh strawberries: store in a paper lined, airtight container, 3-7 days in the fridge. 
  • The recipe can be doubled or tripled, just be mindful not to crowd the baking sheet.
  • Leftover roasted strawberries will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.
