Ingredients

• 500 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Place the tomatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and either thinly slice them or crush them with the flat side of a knife. Add the garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 5

Tear the rosemary sprigs into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

Add the lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

Step 7

Spread the tomato mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the tomatoes are not overcrowded.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, slightly blistered, and caramelized at the edges.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted tomatoes while they are still hot.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or use as a topping for pasta, salads, or toasted bread. Optionally, garnish with fresh rosemary for extra aroma.
