    This recipe is consistently on the weekday rotation. It's one of those, 'not really a recipe-recipe" and for years, I've just been throwing this together so quickly and easily, I finally took the time to measure. And really, at that, there is not much measuring.

    A few weeks ago I shared this same exact recipe for roasted tomatoes and the most incredibly easy basil oil on my Instagram page and I was quite surprised with the positive and excited responses I got! And I can see why.

    Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic

    Sweet cherry tomatoes are roasted in a good amount of olive oil with whole garlic cloves. The garlic cloves soften and sweetens to the most incredible savory sweet candy and I can go through the entire bulb when it's cooked this way.

    The olive oil takes on the tomato and garlic flavors and trust me when I say to make sure you have extra bread for the incredible sopping experience. I like to save the rest of (if there is any) infused olive oil and use it for another salad or toss with pasta.

    Sweet cherry tomatoes are slow roasted with olive oil and whole garlic cloves until softened and slightly charred.

    And if you're looking for other recipes to use roasted tomatoes...

    Add them to grilled pizza and drizzle that delicious infused oil on top. Or stuff the roasted tomatoes with basil oil into a calzone.

    The basil oil is an addiction on it's own. Use it to drizzle over avocado and basil bruschetta or with Italian peppers and onions.

    And if you have an extra ball of burrata around, definitely add some to a squash flower pizza!
