- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cool water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Spread the tomatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly caramelized and the tomatoes look softened.
