Roasted grape tomatoes are one of those simple recipes that quietly transform everything they touch. These little tomatoes become wonderfully jammy and caramelized after a trip to a hot oven, concentrating their natural sugars into an intensely sweet-savory flavor. I make a batch nearly every week in the summer when vine-ripe tomatoes are abundant, but honestly, they're perfect year-round with organic grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes from the market.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Tomato Positioning 🍅
    Arrange grape tomatoes cut-side up on the baking sheet to maximize caramelization and prevent excess moisture accumulation.
  • Herb Infusion Technique 🌿
    Crush fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary between your fingers before adding to release their essential oils and intensify flavor.
  • Honey Drizzle Precision 🍯
    For optimal caramelization, drizzle honey sparingly - about 1 teaspoon per cup of tomatoes - to enhance sweetness without making them soggy.
  • Garlic Roasting Trick 🧄
    Slice garlic cloves thinly and distribute them between the tomatoes to prevent burning while infusing a rich, mellow garlic flavor.
  • Olive Oil Coverage 🫒
    Use a light coating of extra virgin olive oil - just enough to lightly glisten the tomatoes - to prevent burning and promote even roasting.
