Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Recipe
When it comes to ingredients, keep it simple! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pints of cherry tomatoes, rinsed and dried
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or fresh thyme if you got it
- Optional: A sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). You want that heat nice and high for some good roasting.
- In a large bowl, throw in those cherry tomatoes and drizzle the olive oil over them.
- Now, add the balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss it all together gently until every tomato is coated. We want to make sure they soak up all that flavor!
- Spread the tomatoes out evenly on a baking sheet. Try not to overcrowd them; give them plenty of space to roast properly.
- Pop those bad boys in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them, you want them to blister and caramelize but not burn!
- Once they’re beautifully roasted and bursting with flavor, take them out and let them cool for just a minute before serving.
