Roasted Grape Tomatoes

Tracy K's Note:

These tiny tomatoes give a burst of concentrated tomato flavor to just about anything... pizza, salads, pasta sauces, as an accompaniment to roasted meat or fish, or just plain, hot out of the oven... I can eat them like popcorn! I especially like them atop a salad of spring greens with warmed goat cheese... Divine! And since these little tomatoes are available year round, it's a great way to enjoy tomatoes even in the winter.

I agree, these have a GREAT flavor. I top crakers with these and a little parmesan and heat. I made them with cherry tomatoes arranged on a baking sheet, then sprinkled them with sea salt, garlic, and a little sugar.

These were really good! The only reason they lost one star was because I found them a little bit salty - I'm not a big fan of salt so next time I will cut it down to 1 tsp as opposed to 2. I used sea salt and dried basil roasted them at 275 for just over an hour,,,,then I tossed them with some bow-tie pasta, sprinkled with some parmesan (sp) cheese and WALLA!!!! YUMMY!!!!

These little grape tomatoes were delicious, Tracy! I made your recipe precisely as you instructed roasting at 250 degrees for 90 minutes, which gave me plenty of time to complete fixing the rest of the meal. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
