I picked up these red and yellow grape tomatoes at our local farmers market. While I could have happily eaten all of them raw, they ended up being roasted down with olive oil, garlic, basil and thyme. The finished product shown here made an unbelievable topping to our andouille sausage and creamy polenta dinner!
Spread them on bread... spoon them on top of a perfectly grilled steak... add shaved parmesan and toss them with spaghetti... However you choose to use them...these roasted tomatoes will guarantee a visually stunning, amazingly flavorful dish!
Roasted Grape Tomatoes with Garlic, Basil and Thyme
Preheat oven to 400
Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil
Place tomatoes in pan (you can leave them whole, halve them or do a combination of both)
Place whole or halved peeled garlic cloves amongst the tomatoes
Add fresh basil leaves and thyme
Drizzle well with olive oil
sprinkle with a nice pinch of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Mix all around then place in a single layer in pan
Place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Remove and enjoy fast because your house will smell SO GOOD you'll have uninvited guests knocking down your door!

Oooo that sounds delicious and looks lovely and colorful
That's my problem with tomatoes...I just sit around popping them in my mouth! I really need to put some aside and roast them because this looks fabulous!
I always end up sauteing my tomatoes with spices, but roasting them sounds amazing! I absolutely love tomatoes in, on, with everything. I will definitely have to give this one a try.
Roasted tomatoes are one of the world's most perfect foods :) I am looking at a pint I need to roast right now! And what a great idea to have them with your sausage/polenta dinner! YUM!
