- In a mixing bowl, combine white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, salt, and pepper. Add strawberries to bowl and stir until fully coated. On a baking sheet, place strawberries cut side down spaced so they are not touching.
- Roast berries for 5–7 minutes. Remove from oven when they just start to soften and release a small amount of liquid.
