My friend Kelly got me hooked on roasted cherry tomatoes. She took some out of the air fryer and served them with toasted baguette and ever since I tried that combo, I’ve been craving it! With their sweet, tangy flavor, these little gems can transform any dish in minutes. You can toss them into pasta, layer them on bruschetta, or enjoy them as a savory side. Best of all, this recipe is incredibly simple, requiring just a few ingredients and minimal prep time.

Why Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Are a Must-Have

Cherry tomatoes are naturally sweet, but roasting them enhances their flavor even more by concentrating their sugars. The high heat softens the tomatoes and creates delicious caramelization, adding depth to their taste.

What I love most about this recipe is its versatility. These roasted cherry tomatoes can be added to so many different meals. Toss them with pasta for an easy dinner, layer them over avocado toast for a hearty breakfast, or mix them into grain bowls for extra flavor. They’re also amazing served as a simple side dish or as part of an antipasto platter.

How to Make Roasted Tomatoes

Spread the tomatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with seasonings.
Roast until the tomatoes are caramelized.

Tips for the Perfectly Roast Tomatoes

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes– I like using a rainbow of cherry tomatoes, but any color works fine.
  • Get creative with seasoning– While Italian seasoning is a classic, feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme, or add a kick of heat with some red pepper flakes.
  • Store for later- Roasted cherry tomatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
