Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Description
The recipe calls for halving cherry tomatoes and tossing them with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and olive oil before roasting at 400°F. The high-heat oven roasting caramelizes tomato edges and softens their interiors without losing shape. Once roasted for 25 minutes, fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives are sprinkled on top to add vibrancy and complement the savory, slightly sweet tomatoes.
The texture is tender with some caramelized edges, and the flavor is a meld of roasted tomato sweetness, garlic warmth, and herb freshness. This side dish can be served as part of a vegetable medley, tossed with pasta, or used as a topping for grilled meats or bruschetta.
