Famous Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
My mother tells me that as a child, she would find me in the back garden eating tomatoes right off the vine. In the fourth grade I wrote on my ‘about me’ project that lasagna was my favorite food. Tomatoes and cheese have been the longest love affair of my life, it seems. These roasted cherry tomatoes are a staple in my kitchen, and easy enough and delicious enough to warrant their famous title. Enjoy!
