Serve these plump, smoky berries on a rimmed platter or bowl to capture all their delicious juices. Mixed with the lemon-mint sauce, they are worthy enough to drizzle over yogurt or maybe even a grilled piece of pound cake.

Ingredients
- 24 ripe medium strawberries, hulled (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup loosely packed mint leaves, torn
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and scrape it clean with a grill brush.
- While the grill preheats, thread the strawberries onto the skewers, piercing each strawberry with 2 skewers and making a total of 4 kebabs with 6 strawberries on each (double-skewering the strawberries will make them easier to turn). In a cup, combine the oil and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup. Brush the syrup mixture over the strawberries.
- In a small bowl, combine the mint, lemon zest and juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Grill the strawberries until they are softened and have grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the strawberries drizzled with the lemon-mint sauce.

Super easy and really delicious. The glaze is a really nice finish.
The fruit and mint sauce were extremely tasty (5 stars for flavor). We put the fruit on the grill on foil, and that kept things a bit cleaner and ensured the strawberries did not pick up other flavors. The torn pieces of mint in the sauce did not present well, so my recommendation is to add whole mint leaves to the plate afterwards.
WOW….. These were so yummy! … Who knew you could grill strawberrys! …. Will be doing these again for sure.
