Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 whole fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 wooden or metal skewers
- 4 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the green tops if desired, though they can be left on for presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to create the honey glaze.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F or 190°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Thread the strawberries onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each berry for even cooking.
Brush the honey glaze generously onto the strawberries, ensuring each one is coated evenly.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until the strawberries are slightly softened and have light grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining honey glaze over the top.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
