Cherry tomatoes are garden candy! Roasting these little babies kicks the flavor up a couple of notches bringing a special deliciousness to so many of your summer dishes. Enjoy my roasted cherry tomato recipe.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees: Roasted cherry tomatoes are best slow roasted. The low heat brings out the tart sweetness. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the tomatoes in half. You can choose between different varieties of small tomatoes. There are actually more than 100 varieties - I prefer Candyland Red and Sun Gold which is what I used for this recipe.
Add olive oil and spices – Drizzle the olive oil over the cherry tomatoes. Try to hit every tomato. Add sprigs of fresh thyme, which has an earthy, minty, lemony flavor.
