Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for drizzling, optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks
- Cooking spray or parchment paper (for easy cleanup)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, gently rubbing them to remove any dirt.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and white core using a paring knife or huller. Be careful not to cut too deep.
- Pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Insert wooden skewers or toothpicks into the base of each strawberry. If using wooden skewers, cut them in half for easier handling.
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray.
- Place the prepared strawberries on the baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
- Carefully place mini marshmallows on top of each strawberry, piling them high if desired. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even toasting.
- Once golden brown and puffed, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- If desired, melt coconut oil in a small bowl, stir in vanilla extract, and drizzle over the toasted marshmallow strawberries.
- Allow to cool for a minute before serving on a platter.
Notes
- Get creative with toppings like crushed graham crackers for a s’mores vibe or sprinkle sea salt for a sweet and salty combination.
- Try using different fruits like bananas, pineapple, or peaches for a fun twist.
- A kitchen torch can be used instead of the oven for toasting marshmallows for more control.
