- 2 tbsp white sugar

- Preheat the oven to 250°C. Spread the strawberries on a baking paper–lined baking tray, sprinkle the sugar over the top and toss to coat. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the strawberries have softened and lightly caramelised.
- Meanwhile, toast the flaked almond in a small frying pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
