Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz. strawberries, hulled
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 Ciabatta loaf
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Hazelnut spread
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Chop strawberries into large pieces and place in a medium sized bowl.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup and salt. Pour over the strawberries and toss to coat the berries.
  4. Arrange the strawberries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.
  5. Roast for about 40 minutes, or long enough for the berry juices to thicken (but not burn).
  6. Remove from oven and place berries in a small bowl. Set aside.
  7. Slice ciabatta into 1-inch slices and smear chocolate hazelnut spread on each piece.
  8. Scoop about 1/4 cup of roasted strawberries per sandwich.
  9. Prepare the panini maker with a spray of cooking oil and preheat to 375 F.
  10. Place the sandwich on the panini maker and press for 3 – 5 minutes. (No panini maker? No problem! Simply preheat a skillet with butter or olive oil, add your sandwich then press it down with a heavy pan until golden and crisp, about 3 – 4 minutes.)
  11. Remove when the panini is golden and crunchy.
  12. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
