You can skip roasting the strawberries if you like and just use jam in the
center instead, but I beg you not to
because roasted strawberries have the ability to, oh, you know, change your life and all — ladled over ice
cream, swirled into muffin batter, layered with yogurt and granola, blended into smoothies, spooned over pancakes.
I always err on the side of underbaked,
because even if I lose a brownie or two in the
center that is too underdone (who am I kidding, I eat that gooeyness with some ice
cream!)
