Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry or grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the cherry or grape tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme (if using) to the bowl with the tomatoes. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly seasoned.
Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft, slightly shriveled, and starting to caramelize. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roasted tomatoes cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a side dish, mix into pasta, or use as a flavorful topping for salads and toast.
