Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Cut larger tomatoes in half, leaving smaller ones whole for a variety of textures.
In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the tomatoes in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the tomatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut-side up if halved.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, slightly wrinkled, and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, or use them as a topping for salads, toast, or pasta.
