  3. Spread strawberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and caramelized; let cool.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract.
  6. Whip the ricotta mixture using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • Store roasted strawberries and whipped ricotta separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Assemble toast just before serving to keep bread crisp.
  • Substitute ricotta with vegan ricotta and honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Try different fruits like peaches or blueberries for variations.
  • Add chopped nuts for crunch and extra flavor.
  • To make savory, add sea salt and olive oil drizzle, or use feta/goat cheese instead of ricotta.
