# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

05 - Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toast. Top with roasted strawberries and their juices.
06 - Garnish with mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, and nuts if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm, syrupy berries and cool, creamy ricotta hits every craving at once
  • It looks stunning on a platter but comes together in under 45 minutes
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before serving
02 -
  • The ricotta can be whipped up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Roasted strawberries keep for three days in the fridge and are incredible swirled into yogurt.
  • Don't skip the salt in either component. It makes the flavors pop.
03 -
  • Pat your strawberries completely dry before roasting for better caramelization.
  • Room temperature ricotta whips up much faster and creamier than cold.
