You can add fresh herbs and garlic cloves to the tomatoes before roasting and if you don't like balsamic vinegar you can leave it out.

Here's an overview of the ingredients and steps. Please see the recipe card at the end of the post for the full recipe.

Ingredients Overview:

• Grape tomatoes: Feel free to use cherry or plum tomatoes (also known as Roma tomatoes).
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Balsamic vinegar
• Sea salt
• Black pepper

Steps Overview:

1. To roast the tomatoes, start by pre-heating the oven.
2. Rinse tomatoes. If using cherry or grape tomatoes simply leave them whole. For plum tomatoes, chop them into large bite-sized chunks.
3. Place the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a little bit of salt and pepper. Toss them well to make sure they are well coated and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
4. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once after 10 minutes. Tomatoes are ready when they burst and become caramelized. Larger chunks might take longer to roast, just keep an eye on them and remove them when caramelized.

What to do with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes

Freshly roasted tomatoes can be used as a topping for crostini. Toast slices of baguette, spread them with a bit of goat cheese (or other cheese) and top them with the roasted tomatoes. Top the crostini with a sprinkling of herbs. Basil, oregano or thyme would all be delicious.

You can also use the roasted tomatoes in a soup, in your pasta sauce or to top a simple pasta dish. The most simple way to use roast grape tomatoes would be to serve them as a side dish. Sprinkle a bit of Feta cheese, Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese on them to make them extra tasty and serve them with warm crusty bread. I also like serving them as a side to this One-Pan Roast Chicken or these Kafta Kababs. Leftover roasted tomatoes can be added to this Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta or this Easy Spaghetti Meat Sauce.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover roasted tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Oven roasted grape tomatoes can also be frozen for up to 6 months. Defrost and use in your next tomato sauce or soup.

Enjoy!
