Roast mushy or under-ripe strawberries with a few sweeteners and aromatics to add depth, and turn an inedible bowlful into something quite remarkable
Roasting strawberries intensifies their flavour and sweetness, saving you from an unappetising bowl of over- or underripe fruit. When roasted very simply and without any additional ingredients, the strawberry flavour alone is quite remarkable. However, you can include a sweetener and some aromatics, such as cinnamon, citrus zest and vanilla, to create a more nuanced depth of flavour. Serve warm or cold with ice-cream, porridge or pancakes, or get inventive and serve the fruit in a savoury dish, tossed with balsamic, basil, burrata and black pepper – a wicked flavour combination.
To save energy, consider roasting the strawberries when the oven is already hot, or alongside other ingredients that won’t impart an undesirable flavour, such as a dessert or vegetables (other than alliums, of course).
