Garlic Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

The roasting process for these cherry tomatoes allows the sugars to get caramelized and have a concentrated flavor. So delicious on bruschetta or avocado toasts. They have less liquid after roasting and are a delicious way to add a burst of flavor to pasta dishes like my Tuscan Grilled Chicken Pasta, pizza, salads, and more!

Ingredients needed for roasted tomatoes

  • Cherry tomatoes: any variety of fresh tomatoes work great even grape tomatoes.
  • Garlic: Use fresh minced garlic cloves.
  • Olive oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil.
  • Italian seasoning: You can use a mixture of dried herbs like rosemary, thyme and basil if you prefer.
  • Sugar: Add a pinch of granulated sugar if your tomatoes aren’t sweet summer tomatoes.
