- Ingredients
- 2-4 packages of grape or other tomatoes, rinsed and dried. A variety of colors is very pretty.
- Good olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.77″ background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid”]
Directions
Preheat oven to 400
Cover a large baking sheet with foil (unless you like to clean – the foil means you just throw the foil away; no muss no fuss!). Toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt and pepper (if you do on the baking sheet, no bowl to clean!)
Roast tomatoes in oven until they start to brown. They should be well blistered and beginning to break down.
Serve as a side hot/warm or cool and use to put on bruschetta, toast, or anything else. The tomatoes will be slightly sweet but oh so savory. Enjoy! It is fantastic after a day or two in the fridge, so don’t be afraid to make lots.
