Roasted cherry tomatoes with fresh mint and olive oil is a simple yet delicious dish that can elevate any meal. This recipe balances the sweetness of the tomatoes with the freshness of spearmint, seasonings, and the richness of olive oil, making it a perfect side dish or a flavorful ingredient to add to other recipes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. You can leave them whole or halve them, depending on your preference.
Place the tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the tomatoes. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are distributed uniformly.
Spread the seasoned tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Roast the tomatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until they start to caramelize and burst. The skins should be wrinkled and slightly charred.
While the tomatoes are roasting, chop the fresh spearmint leaves finely.
Once the tomatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven. Transfer the tomatoes to a serving bowl and let them cool slightly.
Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped spearmint over the roasted tomatoes. Toss gently to combine.
Give it a final drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the roasted cherry tomatoes with fresh mint warm or at room temperature. They make a great side dish, topping for bruschetta, or addition to salads and pastas.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic before roasting.
- Keep an eye on the roasting time; overcooking can make the tomatoes mushy.
- You can serve the roasted tomatoes warm or at room temperature as part of a salad, pasta dish, or on toasted bread.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs like basil or thyme if you don’t have spearmint.
Roasting cherry tomatoes with fresh mint and olive oil is an easy way to create a dish bursting with flavor. Whether used as a garnish, a side dish, or even a main ingredient in other recipes, these roasted tomatoes are sure to impress. Enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet, fresh, and savory flavors with every bite.
