Balsamic roasted strawberries FAQ:
Balsamic roasted strawberries should be baked for about 20-25 minutes at 375°F (190°C). It's a good idea to check them halfway through and gently stir to ensure even roasting.

You can substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative like stevia. Adjust the quantity to taste, keeping in mind that some alternatives may be sweeter than regular sugar.
