Helen and Wiley at the Ann Arbor Market! It is an ordeal and pleasure to bring Wiley to market. He definitely interrupts a sale or two, but overall he adds more than he takes away.

Recipe: Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Author: Cookie and Kate (again!)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours
Yield: 2 cups 1x
Category: Side dish
Method: Roasted
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Diet: Vegan

​These slow-roasted cherry tomatoes are completely irresistible on salads, pizzas, eggs, toasts and more. Make this simple recipe with your surplus tomatoes! Recipe yields about 2 cups roasted tomatoes.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 pints (4 cups) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.
  2. Toss the tomatoes with the oil and salt on the parchment paper, then arrange the tomatoes so the cut sides are all facing up.
  3. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 ½ hours, until the tomatoes are shrunken and shriveled and not too wet or squishy. Exact timing will depend on their size and your preferences. 
  4. Let the tomatoes cool, then use as desired. Leftover tomatoes will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 week or longer. Or, freeze them for up to 6 months.
Uses for Roasted Tomatoes

Try scattering roasted cherry tomatoes on any of the following:
  • Eggs
  • Pasta
  • Pizzas
  • Quesadillas and tacos
  • Salads with greens, herbs or whole grains
  • Toasts or crackers spread with cream cheese, goat cheese or mashed avocado
Roasted tomatoes go particularly well with these Mediterranean flavors: 
  • Basil
  • Bell peppers, especially roasted
  • Feta, goat cheese, mozzarella and Parmesan
  • Olives and capers
  • Zucchini and yellow squash
