Here’s a good example of my weird taste buds.
I don’t like raw cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, so Tuna and I were both surprised when I loved the oven roasted tomatoes his sister made for us at a family function.
I was even more surprised when I asked her how to make them, and the response was that they are SUPER EASY.
These tomatoes are also quite fancy because Tuna’s sister is a foodie, so now whenever we make them we feel very important.
You will need: baking sheet, aluminum foil
Ingredients:
- cherry or grape tomatoes
- salt
- pepper
- dried basil
- olive oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 250°F-300°F.
Rinse and dry tomatoes.
Cut cherry or grape tomatoes in half and put them peel side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried basil.
Bake for 1.5 hours until they are dried out and slightly caramelized.
I’ve already served them at a dinner party and they’re also great in salads.
Thanks as always to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons for hosting What I Ate Wednesday!
Funny story, I saw this and thought, “Omg someone made crawfish!” Apparently roasted tomatoes kind of look like little crustaceans!
Ah crazy! I’ve actually never had crawfish before!
mmm yum! those look so good!
Thanks! 🙂
I have no idea why I’ve never done this before. I LOVE sundried tomatoes but hate how much they cost – this is awesome. Can’t believe how quick they cook either! Thanks for the inspiration 😉
Yay – glad to inspire you! Enjoy. 🙂
These look wonderful! Thanks for posting the recipe!
Thanks, Jess!
