Ingredients
  

Roasted Strawberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • sea salt pinch
Whipped Ricotta
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest finely grated
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt pinch
Toast & Garnish
  • 4 slices sourdough or crusty artisan bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or softened butter, for brushing
  • fresh mint or basil for garnish, chopped or torn
  • crushed pistachios optional, for topping
  • extra honey for drizzling, optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Food Processor
  • Toaster

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the strawberries with honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the strawberries for about 10 minutes, or until soft, glossy, and jammy, releasing their juices. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, add the ricotta, olive oil, lemon zest, honey, and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Blend for 30–45 seconds until smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
  5. Brush the sourdough slices lightly with olive oil or softened butter. Toast in a toaster, on a grill pan, or under the broiler until golden and crisp.
  6. Spread each piece of toast generously with whipped ricotta, then spoon the warm roasted strawberries and their juices over the top.
  7. Finish with fresh mint or basil, a sprinkle of crushed pistachios, and an extra drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a slightly savory twist, add a tiny pinch of freshly cracked black pepper on top of the finished toast. You can also swap strawberries for other berries or stone fruit using the same roasting method.
