Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes 2 cups
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt see notes below
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Optional:
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, for garnish, or cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Place the tomatoes in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to coat.
  3. Transfer the tomatoes to a small, 1-quart baking dish.
  4. Roast the tomatoes until they are soft and beginning to burst, about 20 minutes. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley (if using), and serve.

Notes

  • If using any salt other than Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, including Morton kosher salt, use half the amount listed.
  • There's no need to peel and/or slice the tomatoes before cooking them. 
  • The tomatoes taste better after they've had a chance to rest. So, while it's OK to serve them immediately, it's best to let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. You can also serve them after they've cooled to room temperature.
  • The leftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Gently reheat them, covered, in the microwave or serve them cold like antipasti.
