Spread the cherry or grape tomatoes on a sheet pan. Scatter the garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, and oregano sprigs around the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss with a wood spoon until the tomatoes are well-coated.

Roast for 35-40 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and are caramelized on the edges. Let the tomato mixture cool for a few minutes and then discard the garlic, thyme sprigs, and oregano sprigs.
