- Spread the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Roast the Strawberries:
- In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup orange juice and 1/3 cup sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Pour this mixture over the strawberries on the baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and their juices have thickened slightly.

- Top with a generous spoonful of roasted strawberries along with some of their syrup.
