ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with wide heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Directly on the lined baking sheet, using a rubber spatula, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Roast for 2 hours, until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to burst. Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The tomatoes will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If freezing them, it's a good idea to divide them into individual portions to thaw as needed.

CHERRY TOMATO FIRECRACKERS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Cut a small slice off the top of each cherry tomato and hollow out the center of each, discarding the seeds and juice. If the tomatoes will not stand up, cut a very small slice off the bottom so that they have a flat bottom. Squirt a couple of drops of Sriracha into each tomato. Fill each tomato about half way with cream cheese. Depending on the size of the tomatoes, you may have extra cream cheese. Cut the avocado into little cubes sized to fit in the tomatoes. You may have extra avocado. Place the avocado cubes on top of the cream cheese in each tomato, pushing down gently. Add a generous drop of Sriracha on top of each tomato and insert a pepper strip to look like the cherry bomb fuse. Serve. Tip: Use a baby food spoon or other very small spoon to hollow out and fill the tomatoes

SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tb. olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high flame until it just starts to smoke. Add tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Saute, shaking pan frequently, until tomatoes soften and skins just begin to wrinkle, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and continue to shake the pan until garlic is fragrant. Off heat, stir in the basil and remaining 1 Tb. olive oil, then serve.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the tomatoes lightly with olive oil on a sheet pan. Spread them out into one layer and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.
• Transfer the tomatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with basil leaves and sea salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
• While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

PENNE WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line bottom of casserole dish with cherry tomatoes in a single layer, halved side up. Pour oil on top, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs on top. Bake until tomatoes have wilted, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with enough sea salt so that water tastes mildly of salt. When tomatoes are just about done, add penne to water and cook until al dente (it should be pliable, but still firm in center). Scoop out about a cup of pasta water and reserve. Drain pasta and add to casserole. Fold tomatoes and pasta together, adding another 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it is dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.
