This oven-roasted cherry tomatoes recipe is a simple, flavorful way to make the most of summer tomatoes. It’s my go-to for an easy side, a vibrant topping, or a quick addition to many meals.
To prepare, coat a pan or heavy skillet with olive oil, add a pint of cherry tomatoes, then toss in sliced onion (optional), a few garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. Roast at 400°F for about 30 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and sweet. While they cook, you can relax or finish other parts of your meal.
What Can I Make With Roasted Tomatoes?
Roasted cherry tomatoes pair beautifully with savory dishes. I often serve them with turkey chorizo meatballs for a colorful, juicy contrast.
They also make an excellent pizza topping, a bright accent for hash browns and eggs at breakfast, or a flavorful spread on sliced bread, like homemade French bread. Use them wherever you want concentrated tomato flavor and a touch of caramelized sweetness.
