    Slow roasted strawberries to spread on crackers with cheese, on toast with butter, or spill over your morning yogurt. You could also serve them with this German pancake, also known as a Dutch Baby.

    I posted a dessert last Friday incorporating roasted strawberries, and I'm finding lots of ways to use these little guys. So I thought I'd do a post just on roasting them, since they've quickly become a new pantry item for me. I keep them stored in a zip-lock container in the refrigerator, and as of last count, they've lasted over 2 weeks without losing any of their punch. Tomorrow I'll post a great, easy way to use them as an appetizer for your next party!

    As you can see in the pictures, I don't roast them until they're completely dry. I like them a little syrupy, which makes them great for spreading on toast in the morning.

    Some uses for these glorious babies:

    Stir into your morning yogurt.

    Spoon over some vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and top with dark chocolate shavings.

    Spread on some crackers with soft farmer's cheese.

    Make a strawberry mojito with them with muddled mint.

      I want to lick that juice on the side! This looks so good! Do you think I could roast thawed frozen strawberries? I have a bag of strawberries that I refrigerated while fresh...

        I haven't tried doing this with thawed frozen berries. It would be an interesting experiment though. If you try it, please let me know how it works. I'll do the same for you ๐Ÿ™‚

        Seriously, Lyn, I've had it every day this week. I love this way of having strawberries. And it's a great thing to do with them when they're a couple of days old and starting to dry out in the refrigerator!

      This sounds too delicious. Would love some of these in the morning granola and yogurt.

      I bet these strawberries would be amazing with some fresh basil, and melted mozzarella. Or goat cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about the possibilities...

        Totally, Christy! In fact I have a recipe I developed for a magazine along those lines that I'm going to post later today. Once these little gems are in your refrigerator, you'll be surprised all the uses you'll find for them ๐Ÿ™‚

      Your roasted strawberries are shining like precious stones. No doubt those babies must taste amazing and especially in some yoghurt (yummy!)

        Thanks so much Helene! I love thinking of them as gems. They're such an intense strawberry flavor, and a great way to use strawberries that are starting to dry out in the refrigerator.
