Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Strawberries

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss strawberries with maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until juicy and slightly caramelized.
Let cool to room temperature.

Step 2: Whip the Ricotta

In a food processor or bowl, combine ricotta, honey, lemon zest, and salt.
Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy (1–2 minutes).
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 3: Toast the Bread

Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, or toast the bread in a toaster.
Cook until the bread is golden and crisp on both sides.
Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each slice of toast.
Spoon roasted strawberries over the top.
Add desired garnishes: mint leaves, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the strawberries are juicy.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee for the ultimate treat.

Notes

Use Whole Milk Ricotta – For the creamiest, richest texture.
Choose Good Bread – Thick, hearty slices hold the toppings best.
Don’t Overload – A light hand with toppings keeps everything balanced.
Make Ahead – Roast strawberries and whip ricotta ahead of time for quick assembly.
Add a Savory Twist – Try adding a few basil leaves or a crack of black pepper for contrast.
