Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Drizzle the cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Strip the leaves off one rosemary sprig and chop them roughly. Add the chopped rosemary to the bowl, reserving the second sprig for garnish.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Transfer the tomato mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out in a single layer. Place the reserved rosemary sprig on top for added aroma during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and slightly blistered.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the tomatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, or use it as a topping for bread, pasta, or salads.
