🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Toss until the tomatoes are evenly coated.

4. Transfer the seasoned tomatoes to a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer.

5. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are soft, slightly blistered, and their juices start to release.

6. While the tomatoes are roasting, crumble the goat cheese into small pieces and set it aside.

7. If serving with bread, slice the baguette into thin pieces and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.

8. Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.

9. Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.

10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately with toasted bread on the side.
