Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the grape tomatoes under cool water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Place the grape tomatoes in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
Add the sliced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Gently toss everything together to ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the tomato mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to burst, with slightly caramelized edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool for 5 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the roasted tomatoes for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, over pasta, or as a topping for toasted bread.
