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", than 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.

Chorizo Queso Blanco Dip Recipe
This is a cheese lover's dream! It's loaded with spicy Mexican chorizo, roasted green chiles, and Mexican cheeses. It's perfect for your next game day menu, or a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Ingredients
This would usually be the spot where there would be an exhaustive list of the myriad ingredients that it takes to make the recipe featured. I think that you're going to like this; cherry tomatoes, vegetable oil, and salt. That's it!!!
Instructions
Cutting and Seasoning
Cut the tomatoes into halves.
Toss them together with salt and vegetable oil to coat.
Panning and Cooking
This is the hardest part. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, onto a rack over a baking sheet.
Roast in a 200 degree oven for about 3 hours, until they are wilted, lightly chewy, and the flavor is highly concentrated.
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.
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.
