Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 10 large leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic Italian bread
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them on the lined baking sheet. Peel and slightly crush the garlic cloves and add them to the sheet.
Drizzle the tomatoes and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the top.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized and the garlic is golden.
While the tomatoes are roasting, thinly slice the baguette into 1/2-inch pieces and place the slices onto another baking sheet.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the bread slices. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they’re crisp and lightly golden.
Once the tomatoes and garlic are done roasting, transfer them to a bowl. Chop the roasted garlic finely and mix it back in with the tomatoes.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the roasted tomato mixture and gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Finely chiffonade the basil leaves (stack, roll, and slice into thin ribbons), and mix them into the tomato mixture.
To assemble, spoon the roasted tomato mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for an added touch of flavor.
Serve immediately as a warm and delicious appetizer or snack.
