Who does not like these cuties? So when my friend Lisa called to check if I wanted the cherry tomatoes from her garden, I said yes without a second thought. I did not want to treat them like regular tomatoes and cook them the normal way. So the final decision was to roast them with a burst of spices and garlic of course. I have used Italian seasoning, but you can use any combo of spices or just stick with salt and pepper.
The roasting brings out the juices and garlic intensifies the flavor. You will start gobbling them as soon as they are out of the oven. We had some as is and tossed the rest with pasta. It hardly took time to put together, so these are perfect for week nights as well. Off to the recipe.
