Ingredients
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes thoroughly, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the bowl of cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and add the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the tomatoes gently until they are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned cherry tomatoes over a baking dish in a single layer, ensuring even distribution for uniform cooking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the tomatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until they are soft and their skins start to wrinkle.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and drizzle the warm tomatoes with balsamic vinegar.
Gently toss the tomatoes in the baking dish to coat them evenly with the balsamic vinegar.
Allow the baked cherry tomatoes to cool slightly before serving them as a side dish, or use them as a topping for bruschetta or in a salad.
