Enjoy the flavor of summer tomatoes with this easy recipe for Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes! The combination of oven-roasted tomatoes, garlic, thyme, basil and extra-virgin olive oil packs a sweet and savory punch, perfect alongside cooked grains, pasta dishes, toast, or paired with burrata. The roasted tomatoes are addictive – you’ll want to put them on everything!
The beauty of this recipe is how easy it is. The cherry tomatoes are coated in a savory mixture of garlic, olive oil and herbs, and then they go into the oven to roast. Once the tomatoes are soft and nicely blistered, remove them from the oven and discard the garlic and herbs. To store, transfer the tomatoes to a sterilized jar and cover completely with extra-virgin olive oil. The preserved tomatoes will last in the fridge for at least 6 weeks. Enjoy!
To make the Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 225 °F.
Spread 2 pints cherry tomatoes onto a large baking sheet and add 3 sprigs of thyme, 8 torn basil leaves, and 3 crushed garlic cloves. Drizzle with three tablespoons of olive oil and toss, making sure the garlic and herbs are well coated with oil to keep them from burning.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper on top, then give a good stir to coat.
Roast the tomatoes for 2 ½ hours, stirring at least once or twice during roasting, until the tomatoes are blistered and shrunken.
Remove the garlic and herbs and add the tomatoes to a sterilized jar. Cover the tomatoes completely with olive oil. Make sure the tomatoes are completely submerged in the oil. The olive oil will get solid in the refrigerator. When ready to eat or serve, remove the desired amount from the jar and let sit at room temperature to turn to liquid again.
Serve as desired. The preserved tomatoes will keep refrigerated for at least 6 weeks.
