Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 100 grams Soft goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, then sprinkle them over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper evenly over the tomatoes.
Using clean hands or a spoon, toss the tomatoes gently to coat them evenly in oil and seasonings.
Spread the tomatoes out into a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft, slightly blistered, and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tomatoes cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a serving plate or shallow bowl.
Crumble the goat cheese over the warm tomatoes, allowing it to slightly melt.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the dish.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top for a touch of sweetness and additional flavor.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping, if desired.
