Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry or grape tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Rinse the tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each tomato in half lengthwise and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are well coated.
Spread the tomatoes, cut side up, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they have softened, slightly shriveled, and have caramelized edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool for a few minutes.
If desired, garnish the roasted tomatoes with freshly chopped basil before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or use the roasted tomatoes as a topping for pasta, pizza, or salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
