Roasted Tomatoes are a staple in Italian cooking. They are packed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. But because of the time it takes to make sun-dried tomatoes and the cost of the oil and jars to store them in – this is a very expensive ingredient when bought in stores.
Therefore, making your own can save you a ton of money! And the best part is, you need no special equipment. Only an oven!
Roasted cherry tomatoes have a very intense, slightly sweet flavor that adds so much depth to basically anything you cook. We love mixing these with some cubed chicken breast in a pan for a quick lunch, or adding it to a tomato sauce for that extra flavor kick!

- cherry tomatoes

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 280 degrees.
- Prepare a sheet pan with baking paper.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Remove the stem and core if desired.
- Arrange the tomatoes cut side up on the baking paper. This amount of cherry tomatoes usually fills 2 sheet pans.
- Sprinkle all the tomatoes lightly with salt.
- Slide the sheet pans into the oven and let dry for at least 3 hours, keeping an eye on them every 30 minutes once the first 2 hours have elapsed.
- The cherry tomatoes are done when they are dry, but still “soft” – you want to avoid any browning, because that can make them bitter.
- Once they are done, add them to a jar, together with the garlic and herbs. Store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks.
Notes
- Before storing in a jar – I like to add the oil, tomatoes, garlic and herbs to a small pot and heat it up slightly so everything infuses together.
