Ingredients

• 500 grams cherry or grape tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut each tomato in half lengthwise and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are well coated.

Step 6

Spread the tomatoes, cut side up, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they have softened, slightly shriveled, and have caramelized edges.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tomatoes to cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

If desired, garnish the roasted tomatoes with freshly chopped basil before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, or use the roasted tomatoes as a topping for pasta, pizza, or salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
