Funny, I never would have thought to roast cherry tomatoes. Slices or halves of big tomatoes, yes. But, wow! Awesome!

Soooo good! I roasted mine with Cauliflower, Broccoli, and 16 cloves of Garlic. I did not toss with Basil, I used Italian Seasoning, Rosemary, Thyme, Salt, Pepper, and some Red Pepper Flakes. Roasted at 425 for 30 minutes. Delish!

Boy, is this delicious! We ordered a bruschetta appetizer at a fancy restaurant on Hilton Head Island, SC. This recipe is as good if not better, than the roasted cherry tomatoes on the brushetta appetizer. I ate these straight up, in a tossed salad and on Italian bread to mop up the extra juice in the bowl.

These were delicious. I served them as a side dish to baked fish. As some other suggested, I also added crumbled feta cheese and also some chopped pecans. Will try these again.

I'm a native Utahn. Been married 39 years. I like to read, listen to music (right now my favorite it Sarah Brightman also Golden Oldies, unforgettable crooners, music from the 60's, 70's and 80's), going for walks, concerts and plays, movies, going fishing with DH, or just going on scenic rides, most everything with my best friend (DH). I'm also a big scifi fan. My favorite cookbook is Taste of Home's Quick Cooking Magazines and their Annuals. My favorite web site is Recipezaar. If I had a month off I would like to travel. WHAT AM I SAYING!! I'm off all the time. LOL Just no green stuff to use to go traveling. Plus its hard to travel long distances with DH's bad back. My RAK WISH LIST: 1.) I love scented candles.Wouldn't mind trying some of the layered ones. 2.) Different kinds of jams or jellies 3.) Matching chef aprons for DH and me 4.) A note saying Hi! 5.) Chocolate/Candy 6.) Refrigerator Magnets 7.) Unique or Original items from different parts of the Country/World 8.) Scented Bubble Baths, Bath Salts, Moisturizers 9.) Essential oils 10.) Homemade Things 11.) Spices 12.) Music I'm really not a hard person to please (LOL).
