Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

2 pints cherry tomatoes

3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1⁄8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 1⁄4 cup packed fresh basil leaf, torn if large

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400°F.

2. Combine all the ingredients except the basil in a roasting pan.

3. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are just bursting.

4. Carefully transfer the tomatoes to a bowl and set aside.

5. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium heat (or transfer the liquid to a small saucepan) and reduce liquid until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

6. Toss the tomatoes with the basil.

8. Serve with pasta, bruschetta, poached eggs or anything your little heart desires.
