Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

It's the end of Summer and the best time for tomatoes is now. But, what to do with all of those cherry or grape tomatoes to extend thier shelf life? Simple answer: roast them.

Roasted cherry tomatoes can be used to make a tomato sauce, for use in omelettes, or even over toast as a bruschetta. Don't forget how awesome they would be on pizza, or served over burrata either. Endless ideas! Plus, they're so simple to make, and they keep in the fridge for almost a week. Mangia.
