Well today it’s all about these Roasted Cherry Tomatoes. If you’re not roasting tomatoes you may want to rethink your life.
Go ahead.
I’ll wait.
Tomatoes on their own are good, right? Gimme all the tomatoes on my salads, burgers, sandwiches, you know the drill. But, friend. Roasted Cherry Tomatoes are so crazy superior to their boring (I’m sorry, it’s true) but less yummy raw counterparts. There. I said it.
Throw them on a baking sheet with olive oil, salt, and pepper and you’re well on your way to Flavor City. (Wow. That was extreme. Drink a little less coffee, Christina.)
The key is to roast them just long enough so the skin starts to peel back a bit. That means they’re super soft and sweet.
If you open the oven and you’re not quite sure if they’re ready gently move a few around with a spatula or other utensil. You’ll be able to tell right away if they’ve softened.
Add these to a pasta dish, mix them in scrambled eggs, serve them in an omelet, top them on avocado toast, there’s so much you can do!
