Notes
To achieve the best results when roasting cherry tomatoes, avoid overcrowding the tray. It’s important to leave enough space for the tomatoes to roast properly; if they’re too close together, they will steam instead, resulting in soggy tomatoes. When there is ample space, the cherry tomatoes can shrivel and caramelize, developing slightly crispy edges.
For roasting, choose olive oil or a neutral oil, such as grapeseed oil, to allow the natural flavors of the cherry tomatoes to shine. You can also enhance their taste with various seasonings, such as garlic powder or Cajun seasoning.
