Roasted Cherry Tomatoes are a fantastic way to enjoy the best of fresh summer produce. Made by roasting in a hot oven with olive oil and salt, so simple to make and so good, these intensely flavored tomatoes make a great side dish or topping for pasta!
Preheat oven to 350° F with rack in top third of the oven.
Slice each tomato in half, or in quarters if the tomatoes are larger. Place halved tomatoes in a single layer on a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan.
Toss with the olive oil and salt. Arrange tomatoes so the cut side is up.
Bake for 40-45 minutes (smaller tiny tomatoes will take less time to bake), giving them a stir once or twice during baking, until they are softened and starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
