Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Warning!! These little beauties are SO delicious that once you start eating them, it’s very difficult to stop. I love the flavor of slow-roasted cherry tomatoes and enjoy eating them on pasta, in salads, on seafood, chicken, pork, or beef, eggs, cheesy toast, potatoes, or plain. Seriously, the possibilities for these tasty gems are endless.  I had a big bowlful of mixed cherry tomatoes and a head of garlic so I decided to do some slow-roasted cherry tomatoes. They couldn’t be easier to make, they made my house smell amazing, and they taste fantastic!

    Oh my Gosh! These are so good. I roasted the tomatoes and garlic as the recipe dictated. I sauteed a shallot, chard, and some green beans from the garden. I added homemade pesto and these roasted tomatoes and garlic and voila! the most delicious dinner I have eaten in ages. Thank you!

  2. Pam – concerning the question about freezing the tomatoes once roasted – yes, you can!
    I routinely do that – in fact have a couple of pints going into the oven as soon as I back away from the computer! Just had to confirm the oven temp – some day, I’ll actually write it down somewhere!
    The tomatoes must be well cooled (obviously!) and well-drained of the oil, before putting them in a freezer bag. It’s the oil that will start making them go “off”.
