Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pints Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 5 sprigs Basil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Grater
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. This high temperature is essential for roasting and helps the tomatoes caramelize beautifully.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, grated Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until all the tomatoes are well-coated with the mixture. Look for that glossy sheen from the olive oil.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring a non-stick surface and easy cleanup. Spread the tomato mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Aim for a single layer to allow for even roasting.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Set a timer for 15 to 20 minutes. As they roast, the tomatoes will begin to pop and burst, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
  5. Check the tomatoes after 15 minutes. They should be soft and slightly caramelized. The skins will start to wrinkle and blister, indicating they’re done. If they need more time, check every couple of minutes until they reach your desired doneness.
  6. Once roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. The flavors will have intensified and melded beautifully, making them irresistible.
