Easy to make
And this raspberry sauce is easy to make. No straining, blending, or mashing. Just let the oven do all the work for you.
The fresh raspberries break down as they roast. Turning them from round orbs of whole fruit to soft pieces in a nice sauce.
Raspberry season
Raspberries crops can produce from early summer to fall. In the United States, raspberries typically peak during June in the South, and in July in the North.
Though nowadays, I can find raspberries in the stores almost year-round.
Of course, there’s nothing like a delicious, tart and juicy, in-season raspberry! So, fortunately, that’s right about now!
How to serve
It’s the perfect homemade sauce for spooning onto and swirling into your morning Greek yogurt.
It’s delicious over vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
Spoon it on a pound cake for a special oomph.
Serve it over cheesecake. Or, better yet, bake a swirl of it in the cheesecake!
Bake up a tray of brownies, and make them extra special by swirling this sauce into the batter!
Well, really it’s great topping over any desserts! Aren’t chocolate and raspberries just one of the most magical combinations?
Add a dollop to your morning pancakes or waffles! The fresh twist will perk you right up.

What else can I serve this sauce on?
Feeling adventurous?
Pour this sauce over your favorite salad with a splash of vinegar. Summer salad perfection!
Try adding some roasted raspberry sauce to some freshly grilled salmon, chicken, or steak.
Speaking of salmon with fruit sauce, have you tried my Salmon with Blueberry Sauce? It’s delicious!
Here’s a great inspiring recipe from Bowl Me Over for Veggie Kabobs with Plum Sauce. This would be a great way to freshen up some veggies.
And, the LeMoine Family Kitchen likes to serve up Chicken Wings with Berry Balsamic BBQ Sauce. Which would be so much fun!
And, Who Needs a Cape? got adventurous with their pork tenderloin in this delicious recipe for Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Peach Balsamic Sauce.
Also, serve this sauce over a block of cream cheese with some crackers for an easy and impressive appetizer!
Feel free to get creative and have some fun with this Roasted Raspberry Sauce.
Is this raspberry sauce healthy?
Healthy is always in the eye of the beholder. So, you’ll have to judge for yourself. I do include a recipe nutrition analysis for you on the recipe card.
But this vegan & gluten-free recipe has no processed sugars, and no thickeners (like cornstarch) or additives.
It’s made with just 4 simple ingredients: fresh raspberries, maple syrup, a little olive oil, and a tiny bit of salt. That’s it.
In my opinion, it’s pretty darn healthy. And so delicious!

Roasted Raspberry Sauce Recipe
Roasted Raspberry Sauce
This Oven Roasted Raspberry Sauce is complex and well-balanced, sweet, tart, rich, with just the right fruit flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 350° F.
- Add the raspberries to a small oven proof baking dish, like a ramekin.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, and salt. Pour syrup mixture over berries and very gently toss to coat.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until the berry juices thicken and the raspberries start to fall apart, but not long enough for the juices to burn.
Recipe Notes
Servings will depend on how heavy handed you are with the sauce, but I estimated that I get about 6 servings from a batch
