Roasting strawberries deepens their flavour. The heat of the oven concentrates their natural sugars, deepening their strawberry essence and turning their juices into a spoonable syrup.
It's an easy trick that turns a simple ice cream dessert into a restaurant-worthy treat.
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 170°C. Cut the strawberries in half, then toss gently with the caster sugar and tip out onto a baking tray.
- Step 2Place in the oven and slow-roast for 35 minutes. The strawberries will be a deeper red, slightly dry to the touch, and swimming in syrup.
- Step 3Leave to cool, before spooning over bowls of ice cream with plenty of the syrup. Garnish with a mint leaf, if you like.
- 400g punnet strawberries, washed and hulled
- 40g caster sugar
- Vanilla ice cream
- Small mint leaves, to garnish
