Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 large strawberries fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Leave the stems intact for easier handling on the grill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the strawberries onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each strawberry for even cooking.
Brush the honey-balsamic glaze generously over the strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the skewered strawberries on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop light grill marks and start to release their natural juices.
Remove the strawberries from the grill and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Optional: Pair the grilled strawberries with vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or a drizzle of extra honey for an indulgent dessert.
