How to Make Roasted Grape Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Wash your grape tomatoes, and dry them completely.
Spread the grape tomatoes out in a single layer on your baking sheet. Drizzle them with a hearty drizzle of olive oil. Then, season them with sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and oregano. I always add a pinch or two of granulated sugar to bring out the sweetness as well.
Use your hands to roll the tomatoes around in the oil and seasonings to evenly coat the tomatoes.
Then, pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the skins are wrinkly and bursting.
Serve simple, flavorful preparation of grape tomatoes with eggs, pastas, or your favorite protein.
Enjoy!
