Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes approximately 2 cups
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a 1-quart baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well to ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Transfer the seasoned tomatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out into an even layer.
- Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes soften and begin to burst, releasing their natural juices. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, letting the flavors deepen.
- If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish, topping for grilled meats, or a flavorful addition to pasta and salads.
Notes
- No need to peel or slice – The tomatoes can be roasted whole, keeping the process simple while preserving their natural juiciness.
- Let them rest for better flavor – While they can be served immediately, allowing them to sit for 5-10 minutes enhances their taste. They can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Storage tips – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
- Reheating options – Warm gently in the microwave, covered, or serve them cold as a flavorful antipasti.
