About this recipe
This roasted cherry tomatoes recipe is perfect for preserving fresh and flavorful produce, especially during the summer months. This recipe can help you savor the sweetness of these little gems all year round.
Add these roasted cherry tomatoes to pasta in a sandwich, salad, or hamburger. I love to have them with a slice of my no-knead bread with a thin layer of homemade cream cheese.
These oven-roasted tomatoes are so good even my son, who doesn’t like raw tomatoes, asks for them. He loves them over pasta with pesto and his grilled cheese sandwiches.
HOW TO MAKE ROASTED TOMATOES?
Preparing a jar of roasted tomatoes is easy and involves only three steps. First, make sure they are all ripe and free from any rot. After that, wash the tomatoes and remove their stems, place them on a baking sheet, and season with the marinade. Place in the oven until roasted.
Once these steps are completed, you will have a jar of roasted tomatoes that can be used in a variety of dishes and stored in the refrigerator for future use.
Cut. Cut the tomatoes in half and put them on a baking sheet.
I cut them in half because if you roast them whole, they tend to burst open in the oven.
Season. The second step is to season them with a delicious olive oil dressing.
Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer so that they roast evenly.
Roast. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft.
When they come out of the oven, you can finish them with chopped basil, parsley, or any other fresh herb. Drizzle balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with black pepper, etc.
💥IMPORTANT Once they're freshly out of the oven, give them a moment to cool down before diving in or storing. Keep in mind, they're piping hot at first—thanks to the olive oil we've drizzled and the natural juices from the tomatoes. So, patience is key here; it ensures everything is just the right temperature for savoring or storing.

Notes
- If you are using another type of tomato, such as plum tomato or Roma tomato, cut them into the same size.
- I prefer to use parchment paper when baking them, but it is not necessary. Just be sure to use a baking sheet with the edges raised so you can keep all the juices.
- Store in the fridge in a tightly closed container.
