Do you ever just cruise the grocery store and see something then you automatically have to make something with it? I do this all the time! The other day I came across the cutest cherry tomatoes on the vine. So cute! So I knew I just had to make something with them. So roasted bruschetta was for dinner! Cherry tomatoes are sweeter than regular tomatoes, but roasted them brings all the beautiful sweetness out. I didn’t even chop these tomatoes, I just roasted them on the vine as is. This is a super simple recipe that is utterly delicious!

Roasted Cherry Tomato Bruschetta

1 pound cherry tomatoes on the vine

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

2 cloves minced garlic

2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Maldon sea salt

1 French baguette sliced and toasted

Instructions:

1. Preheat an oven to 400 F.

2. Once the oven is to temperature, place the cherry tomatoes, vine and all, in a roasting pan. And place in the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes.

3. Once the tomatoes are roasted let them cool for about 5 minutes.

4. Once the tomatoes are cool, remove them from the vine and place in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add the garlic, basil and olive oil to the bowl. Gently mix to combine.

5. To serve, top a slice of toasted baguette with a large spoon full of the bruschetta and season each one with Maldon sea salt. Then… Enjoy!
