Balsamic Roasted Strawberries {Vegan, Gluten-free}
These Balsamic Roasted Strawberries are tasty and sweet great for eating by themselves, on top of yogurt, waffles or in baked goods. Suitable for vegan and gluten free diets.
These roasted balsamic strawberries came with a whole load of drama.
I had this plan. Wake up at 5 am, make four recipes, style, photograph and edit them and pack everything away by 7.30 am before the kiddoes come downstairs for breakfast. And it all went smoothly and I was pretty chuffed to be on target at 6.30 am.
Then I set up the roasted strawberries, ran upstairs and reached into the cupboard and NO camera. This dufus food blogger had left her camera back in London.
Cue a whole load of stress, loads of early morning panic phone calls, a bit of driving (and inevitable getting lost due to the panic), swimming lesson, a children’s birthday party etc, before I managed to borrow a camera and finish taking the photographs at 4 pm. Only 9 hours after I expected.
Afterwards I sat down and ate every single balsamic roasted strawberry you see in that picture. Straight out of the jar in very big mouthfuls. They were worth every single bit of stress.

How To Make Roasted Strawberries
- Preheat oven and lightly oil a lined baking tray.
- Mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup and strawberries together and spread them out on the baking tray.
- Roast strawberries for approximately 30 minutes (for still soft and juice berries) to 45 minutes (for more dehydrated, darker and intense flavoured strawberries) and the juice is nice and thick.
- After they have cooled down carefully remove the strawberries into a bowl and set aside.
Oven Roasted Strawberries Tips
- Try and make sure all the berries are the same size so they cook evenly.
- If your strawberries are small you would only need to halve them.
- If you use a large baking tray with plenty of space then your strawberries will dry out more.
- Feel free to add more maple syrup or balsamic vinegar to your taste.
- You could scrape out some vanilla from a vanilla bean to add to this.
How To Store Roasted Strawberries
Allow the strawberries to cool down, then simply scoop them and the juices into a jar, cover and refrigerate for 4 days.
What To Serve With Roasted Strawberries
Ok first thing is that you can pretty much scoop the balsamic strawberries out of the baking sheet and eat as is. However you can also serve them with the treats below:
- Creamy Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats.
- Buckwheat Waffles.
- Baked Sweet Potato Pancakes.
- Yogurt.
- Ice Cream.
What To Do With Roasted Strawberries
These roasted berries are absolutely fantastic when added to baked goods. You can add them to into strawberry muffins, lemon blueberry cake (instead of the blueberries) and much much more. Have fun experimenting with them and finding your favourite ways to enjoy them. Currently, I am making a habit out of swirling these delectable balsamic strawberries into my morning yogurt. Sooooo good!
Roasted Strawberries And Rhubarb
If you prefer to make roasted strawberries and rhubarb, then simply add in some rhubarb and increase the maple syrup amount to your taste.
Here is how to make balsamic roasted strawberries. I hope you make them and have a more relaxed time doing it.

Mmmmm. I put balsamic glaze on my strawberry tarts sometimes but I’ve yet to make balsamic roasted strawberries. My mouth is watering!
Hi Bintu, I wanted to say hi! I’m still on my blogging leave of absence but please know I’m still a subscriber to your’s. I hope the summer is treating you and your family wonderfully so far 🙂
Wow! That seemed to be a very tiring day. But I’m sure eating these lovely balsamic roasted strawberries somehow took some of the stress away 🙂 And by the way, it looks so good and fruity. Such a lovely recipe! 🙂
I can’t believe you planned to get up that early to do some recipes for your blog. You are mad! They look great though, so well worth the wait and the crazy day. Stumbled, tweeted and Pinned.
The social media sharing is much appreciated Jac.
Wow you’re so organised that’s amazing! And you always post unusual and yummy recipes!
Thank you Diana.
A match made in heaven. These looks so good!
The strawberries sound delicious and I love the fact that despite all the woes you got to eat them all guilt free!!!
😀
Oh no Bintu, I feel your pain, but I’m super impressed with your organised plans. Love roasted strawberries and your photos look beautiful – no-one would know they were taken 9 hrs later than they should have been.
I’ve never roasted strawberries, I know that they’re supposed to be great with a sprinkle of balsamic so I bet these are even sweeter after roasting? I can imagine the stress of not finding the camera!! I’m impressed you start so early. I definitely have it easy with the Glams at Uni etc. GG
A while to go before UNI happens this end GG.
Glad everything worked out okay in the end! Those strawberries certainly look delicious!
lovely, I will certainly be trying this recipe soon,we keep picking loads of strawberries. Impressed that you got up so early to cook. Hope you got your camera back.
Camera back safe and sound thankfully.
This looks wonderful, I bet the flavour is really intense.
I would dearly love to get up early and start work whilst the house is quiet, especially at this time of year when it’s light. Only problem is my husband and child inevitably rise up like vampires the second I get out of bed so there’s no point!!
I have to do some ninja sneaking down Sarah
Oh gosh I remember that day, felt so bad for you but wooo look at these beauties, worth the stress!
😀
Oh nooo, Bintu!! I felt stressed out just reading that story! Poor you!
But hey, I am mightily impressed that you can make and shoot 4 recipes in a couple of hours. I can’t believe you get up at 5 to do that sort of thing!
The strawberries look amazing. I made balsamic strawberries once and topped a cheesecake with them. They were beautiful!
Summer is great for shooting many recipe in one go.
Those look incredible. I can totally empathise with your camera story – just the sort of thing I’d do! Although I like my bed too much to get up early & make four recipes before breakfast!!
😀
I do like your organizational thinking – I’d love to product all my blog content in one go once a week. I think it could be a plan!
Lovely strawberries too!
That is what I do when I have time Helen.
They look amazing and never would have guessed about the drama! Have never roasted strawberries but now tempted to try – love the combo with balsamic, always a winner. Thanks for sharing!
😀
The lengths we go to! Looks like it was worth it though. Have never roasted strawberries… now intrigued.
I hope you try this then Sally.
How diligent of you to get up so early! Glad things worked out okay. These babies rock!
Thank you Michelle.
Well, all the hassle seems worth it as your photo is very nice and well styled. I wish I had the time to do decent photos for my blog these days, but with a 4 month old…well…
Anyway, love the focus on fruit based desserts. Strawberries and balsamic are such a classic!
Thank you. I am amazed you blog with a 4 month old.
