Simply Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Posted in: Appetizer ideas, Food Photos, Salad Ideas, Snack Ideas |
I was making the toddler’s lunch when I realized I had a pint of cherry tomatoes that were getting a bit overripe. I don’t know about you, but I can’t eat cherry tomatoes once they get all "wrinkly". For some reason, they gross me out! So I decided to make a little evening snack.
Boy am I glad I did. So simple, yet SO delicious. Plus you get a healthy oil in paired with tomatoes which is said to be a powerful combo!
- 1 tsp olive oil (5g)
- 1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes
- Kosher Salt
- Black Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Basil or Italian Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a small roasting or pyrex dish add the oil and swirl around a bit. Add the tomatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with spices and cheese.
Roast for about 18 minutes shaking once.
Transfer to a bowl making sure to get all the toasted spices and cheese. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
Enjoy!

This looks great! I am going to try it tomorrow.
mmm that looks DELISH!
I love that that is such a HUGE serving for only 2 points.
I do this but halve the tomatoes (of any size!) and set them in the dish cut side up so that the cheese/toppings stay on top better. I love tomatoes like this:)
This is a GREAT idea for leftover cherry tomatoes. I usually end up with a bunch that go wrinkly. :) Thanks!
Yum…these look and sound good. I guess I’ll be picking up some cherry or grape tomatoes tonight too!
I bet it tastes sorta like pizza! I also cannot eat wrinkly tomatoes. I don’t really dig tomatoes cooked, but these look good enough to make me give them a try. You’ve changed my mind on so many things I used to say “yuck” to…this just might be another. Thanks, Roni.
What a great idea! I can’t tell you how many tomatoes I have thrown away because they get wrinkly.
You know what? These would be AWESOME cut up on a pizza!!!
FINALLY got to make these today and they are SO GOOD! I never would have thought of this, thank you so much for your creativity!
