Notes

This recipe works with any cherry tomato variety. Mix it up for a colorful dish.
When doubling the recipe, make sure to use a larger baking sheet to avoid overcrowding.
You're welcome to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
When seasoning, you can enhance the flavor with red chili flakes, fresh or granulated garlic, fresh or dried oregano, fresh or dried thyme, or Italian seasoning. No rules here, so experiment!
For a richer deeper tomato taste, you can roast longer than the time listed here.
When serving, garnish roasted cherry tomatoes with fresh parsley or fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
To freeze, cool completely, then arrange and store in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag that’s clearly marked with a 90-day “use by” date.
