    This recipe originally published in April 2014 and updated with all new step by step instructions, photos and expert tips.

    Cherry tomatoes are great to roast anytime of the year, but especially in the winter when you may be craving a delicious tomato flavor. Since they are small, they roast in about half the time of regular size tomatoes. Roasted cherry tomatoes are very versatile and can be added to pizzas, pasta, sandwiches, entrees, etc.

    Generally, this size tomato will be fully roasted in about 30-45 minutes. Choose your favorite herbs for this recipe- I love oregano but other great options include thyme, marjoram, etc. Cherry tomato recipes come in very handy in the summer when each day brings more and more tomatoes! Leftovers can be easily stored in the refrigerator to use all week.
