Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Who wants a versatile side dish, that can be transformed into several other dishes AND is ready In just 15 minutes?  Oh and did I mention it only has  3 simple ingredients (if you don’t include S&P.) 

Roasting tomatoes in the oven creates a savory sweetness with a bit of tang. These little flavor bombs are a go-to for my fanciest dinner party and also a dish that I make frequently for myself. This is a must have recipe in your repertoire. Added bonus: this recipe is low carb and gluten free!

I use these tomatoes in:

• Roasted tomato soup

• Bruschetta

• Pasta sauce

• Tomato hummus

• Topping/sauce for fish and chicken

• Fresh pizza sauce

• Add to a hot farro salad

• Caprese salad

You are going to fall in love with the first bite-I promise!

Who wants a versatile side dish, that can be transformed into several other dishes AND is ready In just 15 minutes? Oh and did I mention it only has 3 simple ingredients (if you don’t include S&P). These little flavor bombs are a go-to for my fanciest dinner party and also a dish that I make frequently for myself.

IngredientsUSMetric

• 3 tablespoons olive oil (Cervasi Preferred)
• 2 pints cherry tomatoes
• 4 large cloves garlic, minced
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 8 basil leaves, chopped (Chiffonade if you're being fancy:)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Rinse the tomatoes.
3. Place tomatoes and garlic on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Shake the sheet to coat the tomatoes and spread them out into a single layer.
4. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and one or two have burst their skin.
5. Transfer the tomatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with basil if using, and another light sprinkle of salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

-Try not to use garlic that is sold in a jar. It only has a fraction of the flavor. If you aren’t a big fan of mincing garlic (who is??) get yourself a good garlic press.

-Don’t skimp on the kosher salt! These tomatoes need a generous sprinkle to really bring out the flavor.

-These tomatoes will last in the refrigerator up to a week or you can freeze them for later use

-Try adding 2 tablespoons of good balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes before roasting.
