Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Roasted cherry tomatoes are quick and easy to prepare, with high temperatures and spices revealing their incredible flavor. When roasted to a golden brown, the tomatoes gain depth and aroma, making them a perfect addition to any dish.

• Use a metal baking tray.
• As a preliminary step, season the tomatoes and let them sit in a covered container in the refrigerator until you decide to roast them.

• You can skip the vinegar or replace it with red wine.
• If the tomatoes are too acidic, add a little sugar to balance the flavor.
• Add dried or finely chopped fresh herbs before roasting - classic choices include basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley.
• If you want a spicier flavor, add a little cayenne pepper or crushed chili peppers.

• Tomatoes are extremely rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals and may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
• Olive oil is known for its health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy flavor and pairs wonderfully with olive oil and garlic, giving the tomatoes a rich taste.
