    Ingredients for Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

    To make this roasted cherry tomatoes recipe, you'll need: 

    ingredients for roasted tomatoes.
    • Cherry tomatoes. You can use cherry tomatoes with stems removed or on the vine. Grape or plum tomatoes work well too. 
    • Herbs. You can use either dried or fresh herbs. I often make this recipe using my favorite McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning Grinder but a combination of fresh thyme, oregano, and/or rosemary will work as well and are featured in this recipe. 
    • Garlic. I highly recommend using fresh minced garlic for the maximum flavor and aroma. 
    • Other seasonings. I used extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a small amount of sugar to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes. 

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    How to Slow-Roast Cherry Tomatoes

    1. Prepare the Tomatoes 

    • Wash and drain the tomatoes well.

    • Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet then drizzle with the oil mixture. 
    • Optional, use a small brush to apply some of the oil mixtures onto the tomatoes to ensure they are fully coated.

    3. Slow Roast the Tomatoes 

    • Preheat the oven to 300°F. 
    • Roast the tomatoes for 45 minutes or longer depending on how juicy you want your tomatoes to be.
    • Once the tomatoes are ready, make sure that you stir and coat the tomatoes with the sauce before serving.

    How to Stop Roasted Cherry Tomatoes from Bursting and Splitting 

    Here's the best way to stop roasted cherry tomatoes from bursting and splitting.

    • First, give the tomatoes a small puncture using a sharp knife.
    • Next, slowly roast them at moderately low heat. 
    • Avoid roasting the tomatoes at a high heat because they will burst, not shrivel.

    What to Do with Roasted Tomatoes 

    There are so many things you can do with these roasted tomatoes because they are extremely flavorful. Here are some recipes to make with roasted cherry tomatoes.

    • Bruschetta. Toast some French bread slices with olive oil, rub the bread with fresh garlic then spoon some of the roasted tomatoes onto the bread. If you'd like, drizzle with a small amount of balsamic vinegar and finish up with chopped basil leaves. 
    • Pasta. Cook 8 oz of pasta of your choice in salted boiling water until al dente. Mix the pasta with roasted tomatoes then add parmesan cheese, red pepper chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. 
    • Canned sardines. Heat the fish in a skillet then mix in the roasted tomatoes, red pepper chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. 
    • Sandwich. Just load the roasted tomatoes on a sandwich.

    Other Tips & Variations

    • Cooking Alternative. If you are running out of time and don't care much about bursting tomatoes, feel free to increase the heat to 400°F. When you do this, the tomatoes will be ready in about 20-25 minutes and still taste as good as slow-roasted tomatoes. 
    • Seasoning. Be creative! You can season these cherry tomatoes with your favorite herbs, fresh or dried.
