Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb cherry tomatoes rinsed and dried
  • 2.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped for finishing
  • 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan optional, for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment.
  • Add tomatoes to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic.
  • Sprinkle on garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread tomatoes in a single layer. Roast until blistered and jammy, about 18–20 minutes.
  • For extra char, broil 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
  • Fold in basil on the hot pan. Sprinkle Parmesan if using. Rest 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve over toasted baguette with a swipe of ricotta, or toss with hot pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water. Leftovers keep 4 days refrigerated; rewarm gently to preserve texture.
