This one is super easy to make, very impressive in colors and taste, and always works - on every table, in every meal! The juice of the tomatoes mixes up with the flavors of the garlic, which creates an absolutely divine result! As an appetizer, topping for sandwiches or veggie-burgers, as a side salad at dinner or even as a snack. I must say, I understood what a gem this recipe is only after so many friends asked for it..
Ingredients
Let's get cooking!
15-20 Cherry tomatoes, washed
15-20 Garlic cloves, with the peel
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt, as needed
Turn on the oven on 400F/200C.
In an oven-safe dish, place the cherry tomatoes and the garlic cloves (separated, with the peel) and spread them around.
Pour the olive oil all over the veggies and generously add salt.
Cover the dish with Aluminum foil, and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and keep baking the dish for 30 more minutes or until you see very little remaining fluids in the dish and the tomatoes seem slightly scorched (see pictures above).
​
The tomatoes are best served as a topping on a sandwich.
The garlic cloves easily slide out of their peel (just suck it out!).
I like serving the entire thing as shown in the picture, as a small appetizer during brunch.
