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.

- 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.
