Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.5 cup chopped toasted nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios, or pecans)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce (optional)
- 8 leaves mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the strawberries, remove the stems, and halve them. If the strawberries are very large, quarter them for even roasting.
In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and optional balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
Spread the strawberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are soft, slightly caramelized, and releasing their juices.
Remove the strawberries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
To assemble the sundaes, start by placing 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl or glass.
Spoon the roasted strawberries and their juices over the ice cream, dividing them evenly among the servings.
Top each sundae with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped toasted nuts.
Drizzle optional chocolate sauce over the top for an extra layer of indulgence, and garnish with a mint leaf, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Strawberry Sundaes!
