Roasted balsamic tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a side, appetizer, or even incorporated into main courses. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of ripe tomatoes with the tangy richness of balsamic vinegar, creating a harmony of flavors that's sure to impress.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Cut each tomato in half, horizontally. If your tomatoes are particularly large, you may quarter them instead.
- Place the tomato halves (or quarters) cut side up in a single layer in a baking dish. Ensure that they are snug but not overlapping.
- Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and dried oregano over the tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
6. Dress the Tomatoes:
- Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Roast the tomatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they begin to caramelize and the edges start to brown slightly.
- Once roasted, remove the dish from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the roasted balsamic tomatoes warm or at room temperature. They can be a delightful side dish, a topping for pasta, or even a flavorful addition to salads or sandwiches.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a more concentrated flavor, roast the tomatoes longer at a slightly lower temperature to avoid burning.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as basil or rosemary, to customize the flavors to your liking.
- Serve the roasted tomatoes warm or at room temperature. They can also be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently before serving.
- For a more intense garlic flavor, consider using more garlic cloves or even garlic powder in addition to the fresh cloves.
Your roasted balsamic tomatoes are now ready to enjoy! The roasting process enhances the tomatoes' natural sweetness while the balsamic vinegar adds a delightful tang. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta, or even enjoyed on its own. Bon appétit!
