These tomatoes are bursting with flavor, totally addictive, and hands-down a reliable way to use up all those gorgeous summer cherry tomatoes.

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Ingredients

Ingredient	What It Does
Cherry tomatoes	Use sweet, ripe tomatoes for best flavor. Slicing helps them roast evenly and caramelize nicely.
Olive oil	Choose a good-quality oil (extra virgin) for the best results.
Balsamic vinegar	Adds depth and a slightly sweet tang to balance the flavors.
Garlic powder or smashed garlic cloves	Garlic powder blends in nicely, while smashed cloves give a stronger garlic flavor.
Sugar	Brings out the tomatoes’ sweetness and helps them slightly caramelize in the oven.
Salt & Pepper	Pulls out moisture and makes all the flavors stronger.

All the cherry tomatoes seasoned and coated in oil, ready to roast for the reliable roasted cherry tomatoes.
