Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 10" square baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

Place the strawberries in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Stir to thoroughly coat the berries and then let them sit on the counter for a few minutes while assembling the crisp topping

Stir together the oats, coconut, flour, sugar, and melted butter. Pour the berries into the prepared pan. Use your hands to crumble the topping and sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the berries.

Bake on the middle oven rack for 30 minutes, until the crust has browned and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Let cool completely before slicing into bars, or use a spoon to scoop the warm crisp into bowls. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
