Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
If you haven’t roasted tomatoes yet this summer, now is the time to do it you guys!
You really don’t have to do the slow roasting method in the summer heat, all you need is a hot oven at 450”F for about 20 to 25 minutes. Just until the tomatoes burst and start releasing those magnificent juices.
I’d go for a double or even triple batch here, because they are absolutely perfect to throw in a fregola pasta salad, a minestrone soup with drizzles of basil pesto, or add some lemon juice and olive oil then toss them with your favorite pasta. Angel hair would be my first choice or potato gnocchi to make a meal of things.
Of course, you should use them to make this roasted tomato soup at least once this year, because you simply can’t order this out anywhere.
It wouldn’t be yours truly If I didn’t spoon them over pockets of Burrata cheese, drizzled with scallion dressing and served with bruschetta. I swear our friends show up to our house just for this appetizer.
Honestly you can make this recipe with less than perfect tomatoes anytime of the year. Since everything roasts together with the herbs and olive oil, the natural sugars from the tomatoes concentrate and they start to caramelize. Not to mention you can also help them along with a drizzle of honey if need be. Right now tough, they are perfect!
