  • 1⅓ cups strawberries

  • 1 bunch basil
  • 1 bunch thyme
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Arrange them on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Then, toss the strawberries with balsamic vinegar and honey until well coated.

  • Peel and press the garlic clove through a garlic press. Wash, dry, and finely chop the basil. Remove thyme leaves from sprigs.
  • Place ricotta in a bowl and stir until creamy. Add garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and chopped herbs. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the ricotta dip in a shallow dish. Arrange the roasted strawberries on top and drizzle with additional olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar, if desired.
  • Serve with toasted baguette, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
