Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic
Description
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic combines ripe cherry tomatoes with olive oil and crushed garlic, seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Roasting at 400°F until the skins start to shrivel intensifies the tomatoes' sweetness and lightly softens their flesh, creating a vibrant and rich side or ingredient.
The roasting concentrates the flavors, while the garlic adds a fragrant punch. The resulting tomatoes can be enjoyed with toasted bread or tossed into pasta dishes and grilled meats, enhancing those meals with their bright, roasted taste and tender texture.
You can prepare the tomatoes and oil mixture up to 24 hours ahead to save time, though roasting immediately yields the best results. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for several days, during which more juices develop, creating a natural sauce. Roasted tomatoes freeze well and can be reheated gently in a microwave, oven, or skillet, though reheating increases their juiciness.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. cherry tomato or grape, cut in half
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4-6 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- fresh herbs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss together tomatoes, oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until tomatoes are well coated.
- Arrange tomatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast tomatoes for 20-25 minutes or until the skin begins to shrivel.
- Serve with additional herbs, if desired, with toasted bread, pesto pasta, or on grilled chicken and enjoy!
Notes
- Prep tomatoes and toss with oil and seasonings up to 24 hours before roasting for convenience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; they will release more juice, forming a tasty sauce.
- Freeze roasted tomatoes for 4-6 months in a freezer-safe container; thaw and reheat gently before serving.
- Reheat in a microwave, low oven (250°F–300°F), or skillet over low heat to retain texture and flavor.
