Sweet roasted cherry tomatoes

Sweet roasted cherry tomatoes

An amazing way to intensify the flavours of a tomato glut. A pile of soft and sticky tomatoes with a concentrated tomatoey flavour and a hint of garlic and balsamic vinegar.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5. In a roasting tin or ceramic dish, layer the halved cherry tomatoes in a single layer, cut side up.
  2. Slip the garlic slivers neatly into the tomato halves, amongst the tomato seeds. Make sure they are tucked well in so they cook inside the tomatoes, rather than risk overcooking outside the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle over the balsamic vinegar, seasoning well with the salt and pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, checking to ensure they do not burn. Reduce heat if they char too quickly. They should come out soft and slightly charred on the edges.
  4. Either serve immediately with crusty bread to mop up the delicious garlicy juices or leave until cool and serve later. The longer they stand, the more intensified the flavour. Perfect as a starter with a green crispy salad on the side.

    These were very nice but I don't really like balsamic vinegar that much. And I don't know what maldon salt is.

    Maldon salt is a posh, good quality salt that all the chefs use...any salt will do. You can leave out the balsamic vinegar or replace it with cider vinegar or any else you like. These are nice with a dusting of parmesan and herbs too.
