Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound/500g cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon clear honey
3 tablespoons olive oil
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Lightly oil a roasting pan. Halve the tomatoes and place them, cut side up, in the dish. They should fit snugly with little or no space between them.
Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt, then beat it with the honey, olive oil, and a good grinding of pepper. Spoon this sticky, garlicky mixture over the cherry tomatoes. Roast for about 30 minutes, until golden, juicy, and bubbling.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 10-ounce containers cherry tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 sprigs fresh basil, torn
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons Calabrian chile paste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup ricotta, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 to 6 thick slices ciabatta
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt on a small rimmed baking sheet and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes have popped and are beginning to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
For the spicy honey: Meanwhile, combine the honey, Calabrian chile, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Whisk together the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bread and grill until golden brown and toasted, about 4 minutes per side. Divide the ricotta among the bread slices. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle with spicy honey. Scatter the basil over the top.
