I love how roasting cherry tomatoes turns them into little pockets of sunshine. They get so soft and jammy in the oven, making them the perfect topping for your morning toast or a big bowl of pasta.

The best part is how easy they are to make with just a few pantry staples. If you want a bit more flavor, try adding some fresh garlic cloves or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pan while they roast.

Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel so they roast properly instead of steaming.

  3. 3

    Spread the tomatoes out on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Add the smashed garlic and herb sprigs to the pan, then toss everything together until the tomatoes are well coated.

  6. 6

    Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the skins have started to burst and the juices are bubbling.

  7. 7

    Remove the pan from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before using them as a topping or side dish.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. You can also mash them up with a fork to create a quick rustic sauce for grilled chicken or fish.
