Adjusting sweetness: If you find that the roasted strawberries are too sweet or not sweet enough for your taste, feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener used in the recipe. Remember that the sweetness of the strawberries themselves can vary, so it's okay to tailor the recipe to your preferences.
Testing for doneness: To avoid undercooking or overcooking the strawberries, periodically check them during the roasting process. They should be softened and juicy with slightly caramelized edges when done. If they're still firm or lack caramelization, continue roasting them for a few more minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
