Roasted Cinnamon Strawberries

You will need to adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on how sweet your strawberries are to begin with and how sweet you like your finished dish. I prefer the strawberries to be slightly tart, so usually only add about 1 1/2 Tablespoons maple syrup.

The uses for these strawberries are limitless. Eat them for breakfast on panckaes or waffles, drizzle them over pavlovas or cheesecakes, or serve straight up with cream. The choice is yours.

I use a 22cm sqaure by 5cm deep pan to roast these strawberries. Don't use anything too shallow or they will dry out without producing lots of yummy juice.
