Wash and thoroughly dry the 16 whole strawberries. Ensure they are completely dry as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over low heat. Be careful not to overheat it.
Once the coconut oil is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until you achieve a smooth chocolate consistency.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate mixture, swirling to coat it completely.
Place each dipped strawberry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all strawberries are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is firmly set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delightful Paleo-friendly treat.
