Ingredients

• 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 150 grams Goat cheese
• 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread (optional)
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Toss until the tomatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the seasoned tomatoes to a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer.

Step 5

Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are soft, slightly blistered, and their juices start to release.

Step 6

While the tomatoes are roasting, crumble the goat cheese into small pieces and set it aside.

Step 7

If serving with bread, slice the baguette into thin pieces and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Once the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately with toasted bread on the side.
