The strawberries on the grill may sound like a fad of modern kitchen at the first listening, but the truth is that the combination of fruit and fire has had something for a long time. The smell of hot coal, the sweetness of strawberries and the finely caramelized surface creates a dessert that is not only tasty, but also beautiful to look.
Strawberries are among the fruits that most of us associate with summer, sun and childhood. Sweet, juicy, with a fine acidity and smell that can return memories of the holidays at Grandma, trips to the pond or just the evenings by the fire. And if you throw them on the grill instead of a classic dessert? They will create a surprisingly simple but exceptionally good sweet dot. Grilled strawberries have everything that makes the summer evening perfect – the smell of smoke, caramelized taste, juiciness and a gentle touch of nostalgia.

Preparation on the grill is very fast
Strawberries are preparing for the grill very quickly. All you have to do is light them with butter, maple syrup, or sprinkle with cane sugar and lay on a well -hot grate. They bake only for a short time, two to three minutes from each side, just enough to soften, let go of the juice and began to easily caramelize. When it succeeds, a thin fragrant crust is formed on the surface, and a soft, soft and juicy fruit, which literally attracts to another bite, remains warm.
One way to highlight strawberries is to use balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction. This combination may sound unusual, but in the world of gastronomy is proven – the gentle acidity of balsamics enhances the sweetness of the fruit and gives the whole dessert an adult taste. In some recipes, a drop of lemon or orange juice, or a little fresh mint for refreshment, is added to the marinade. So there is no limits to imagination.
“Strawberries will give you a lot of nutrients for very few calories. They are tasty, but naturally have little sugar. This is a combination that hardly overcomes something,” says registered dietete Bailey Flora.
Strawberries you can grill the whole
Strawberries can be grilled either whole or stabbed on a stick like a skewer, which is practical especially when serving. If you do not want to rotate them individually, you can place them on a grill or aluminum foil. Larger pieces are particularly well grilled, which do not fall apart and hold shape. Hot strawberries are then served either alone or with a hill of sour cream, vanilla ice cream or mascarpone. They also taste great, slightly poured with honey or sprinkled with fine biscuits.
