Serve these plump, smoky berries on a rimmed platter or bowl to capture all their delicious juices. Mixed with the lemon-mint sauce, they are worthy enough to drizzle over yogurt or maybe even a grilled piece of pound cake.

Special equipment: Eight 10-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water at least 15 minutes
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and scrape it clean with a grill brush.
While the grill preheats, thread the strawberries onto the skewers, piercing each strawberry with 2 skewers and making a total of 4 kebabs with 6 strawberries on each (double-skewering the strawberries will make them easier to turn). In a cup, combine the oil and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup. Brush the syrup mixture over the strawberries.
In a small bowl, combine the mint, lemon zest and juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
Grill the strawberries until they are softened and have grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the strawberries drizzled with the lemon-mint sauce.
