Honey & Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

This might be one of the best toast topping or side to accompany antyhing this Winter! Maybe as tapas? The tomatoes are packed with vitamin C, garlic is super good for you, and honey is anti flammatory. Now how about THAT?

I made this one of the days when I was packed with pharyngitis, and just needed to make the most out of a little. I used a little extra oil then in the original recipe, as well as honey, cause I was afraid it wouldn't stretch!

Honey & Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
(Serves 3)


500g cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp + 1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 1/2 tbsp runny honey (syrup for vegan)
2 garlic cloves, minced or finely chopped
Salt and black pepper

- Start by pre-heating the oven to 190C.

- Now, pour 2 tbsp oil into a baking dish and make sure it is spread all over the base.

- Halve the tomatoes and place them cut side up.

- Mix the remaining oil, honey and garlic in a small bowl. Spread over the tomatoes, and then sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes until tender and juicy.

- Serve on fancy bruscetta, or as an accompaniment!

  2. Neimen, åh, så deilig! Enkel mat kan altså være så godt!!
    Senest i går laget jeg suppe av ovnsstekte tomater (og paprika og løk og hvitløk og cashew"fløte"), og ovnsbakingen gjør de jo bare SÅ gode!

  3. Bakte tomater er faktisk helt vanvittig godt :D Skikkelig digg til pasta og alt mulig annet. Når vi er hele familien hjemme pleier mamma lage en diger bolle med spagetti og bakte tomater, skikkelig italiensk-på-norsk familie :P

    1. Awh så koselig det hørtes ut! Syns vanlige tomater smaker helt fantastisk godt når de får kose seg litt i ovnen med diverse krydderier :D Takk for koselig melding :) x
