Roasted Cherry Tomatoes- We always grow cherry tomatoes in our garden here at season two taste. This year we've had quite the bumper crop! It's a good problem to have, but there are just too many to eat right away. If you've ever had this problem, or even if you just want to create some little tomato "flavor bombs", then these roasted cherry tomatoes are definitely for you!
We love to make these and use them in pastas, salads, anywhere you want a piquant boost of tomato.
We grew these in our chef's garden, and they are a staple tomato ingredient around here, just like our other oven roasted tomato recipe.

Chef Tip
Every oven is a little bit different. Make sure to monitor these tomatoes every half an hour or so during the cooking process. If you like the way your tomatoes look and taste at 2 hours, than take them out to cool. If you feel that they need to go a little longer than three hours, set a timer and let them go. Results are more important than recipes.
Storage
This is the beauty of this roasted cherry tomato recipe. Where fresh cherry tomatoes only keep well for a few days, these little guys are storage champs!
In a tightly closed container, these will stay fresh under refrigeration for about 14 days. In the freezer, up to two months.

Leftover Corned Beef, Cabbage, & Potato Hash
Every St. Patrick's Day we cook two corned beef brisket roasts, so we have one leftover to make our favorite corned beef and potato hash.
Yes, you can! It would be great to have multiple shapes and colors of tomatoes to use.
