These roasted grape or cherry tomatoes are the tastiest appetizer. They take just a few minutes to throw together. The tomatoes roast up so juicy and loaded with flavor from the garlic, dried herbs, balsamic vinegar, then they are served with creamy burrata cheese, and garnished with fresh basil – just grab a baguette or some crisps and a bottle of wine and you have yourself the perfect hybrid dish you can serve in fall, winter, or all summer long. It\u2019s a popular dish on instagram but definitely worthy of the hype because it\u2019s so simple to make and so tasty. Tomatoes bursting with flavor paired with sweet basil and creamy burrata. The garlic gets roasted whole and caramelized then that sweet creamy garlic is mashed into the pan juices created from the roasted tomatoes. The tomatoes taste so good roasted this way you wont be able to get enough of this simple simple way to prepare them. Burrata is one of my all time favorite creamy cheeses and it\u2019s amazing served with roasted balsamic tomatoes. It adds a sweet creaminess to this dish that is just too irrisistible. Use those last garden or farmers market tomatoes that are still fresh, juicy, and sweet to make an Italian restaurant-style appetizer. Burrata also makes a perfect side dish or salad that everyone will just love!<\/p>\n

Best Tomatoes To Use<\/h2>\n
The best tomatoes to use for this recipe are cherry tomatoes. These tomatoes are perfectly bite sized and char in no time at all. I love to use cherry tomatoes that come in many different colors which make for really pretty presentation but that is optional. Grape tomatoes will definitely work to and if you don\u2019t have either of those feel free to chop up some plum tomatoes or Roma Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomatoes, Campari Tomatoes
\nor Plum Tomatoes sliced or chopped into large chunks<\/p>\n

- Use a baking sheet with a lip, or a baking dish. This will contain the liquid released from the tomatoes as they cook. However, don\u2019t be alarmed if they don\u2019t let off much liquid. Depending on the variety and ripeness will determine how much liquid they will yield as they cook. See more below.<\/li>\n

- Rosemary<\/li>\n
- Oregano<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Roast for 8-10 min or until the skin starts to get some colour and starts to split<\/li>\n
- Remove from oven when done, squeeze out the garlic and discard the skins, mash garlic into pan juices to disperse and toss everthything with some fresh chopped herbs<\/li>\n
- Serve tomatoes with pan juices on platter or bowl with burrata and crusty bread, crackers or crostini<\/li>\n
