One of my fave ways to use up fruit lately is by making a galette. Had a bunch of strawberries I wanted to use up so I made a roasted strawberry and almond galette. Roasting the strawberries first gave them such a fun new flavor that paired really well with the almonds.
* I referenced the blueberry galette recipe from preppy kitchen. While the galette dough was chilling I roasted the strawberries. I did a mix of fresh strawberries with the roasted for the filling. Then added almonds to the galette crust for a little extra pop of flavor.
Making a roasted strawberry and almond galette is such a rewarding way to creatively use fresh fruit, especially during the fall season when cozy tastes and textures are so comforting. One thing I've found that really enhances the flavor is roasting the strawberries before baking the galette. Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars, giving the fruit a deeper, almost jammy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the fresh strawberries you add to the filling. Adding almonds to the crust is a fantastic twist that adds a subtle crunch and nutty aroma, making every bite more complex and enjoyable. When preparing the galette dough, chilling it properly is essential to achieve that flaky, buttery texture we all love. I usually follow a trusted galette dough recipe and add finely chopped almonds into the dough before chilling. While it rests, roasting the strawberries is a great way to multi-task. Simply toss them with a little sugar and bake until they soften and their juices caramelize. For extra flavor, mixing roasted strawberries with fresh ones in the filling provides a perfect balance of texture and taste—softness from the roasted berries and brightness from the fresh. Before folding the dough over the filling, I sprinkle some sliced almonds on top for a pretty and tasty finish. Serving this galette warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey can elevate it into an indulgent autumn treat. If you want to experiment, consider adding a touch of cinnamon or almond extract to the filling for extra depth. Overall, this roasted strawberry almond galette captures the essence of fall with its cozy, whimsical vibes and is a simple yet impressive dessert to share with friends or enjoy as a personal comfort treat.
