What Are Cherry Tomatoes?

The cherry tomato is a tiny round tomato that is thought to represent a genetic cross between wild currant-type tomatoes and domesticated garden tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes may range in size from a thumb tip to the size of a golf ball, and their form can range from spherical to slightly rectangular.

Ingredients That You’ll Need:

My favorite aspect of this Jamie Oliver slow-roasted tomatoes dish is how easy it is to make. They’re only 5 ingredients, but they deliver a powerful punch of robust, end-of-summer taste.

• Cherry tomatoes: of course, cherry tomatoes! Because they’re the star of the show, use the finest and ripest cherry tomatoes you can locate In this Jamie Oliver recipe, I prefer using bright heirloom cherry tomatoes from the farmer’s market, but regular grocery store cherry tomatoes work just as well!
• Aromatics of choice: I usually use a good quantity of garlic, a handful of fresh herbs, and a pinch of crushed red chile for a little heat. You may use whichever herbs you like when it comes to herbs! The combination of luscious summer tomatoes with the delicate floral flavor of fresh thyme, as shown, is one of my favorites. You may simply substitute thyme for any other hardy fresh herbs that are overflowing in your herb garden, or for your favorite dried herbs if you don’t have any fresh on hand — read the Recipe tips for additional information!
• Good olive oil: Because the ingredients list is so short, it’s critical to use high-quality olive oil for the greatest results.

What is the difference between Cherry tomatoes  & Grape Tomatoes?

Cherry tomatoes tend to be spherical & highly juicy, whereas grape tomatoes tend to be oblong with a somewhat meatier texture. You may certainly substitute grape tomatoes for cherry tomatoes, or use a combination of the two. What matters most in this slow-roasted tomato dish is the quality of the tomatoes, so choose whatever kind looks and feels nicest at the grocery or farmer’s market.

How To Make Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes?

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place aside.
2. Preparation of the tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes. The tomatoes must be consistent in size so that they roast properly, so depending on their size, you may want to split or quarter them. Place the tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet, and cut side up. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, then sprinkle with the garlic, thyme, salt, and crushed red pepper flake (if using).
3. Slow roast the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slow roast for 2 1/2 – 3 hours, or until desired dehydration. I like to set a timer every 60 minutes to check on them while they roast.
4. Serve! Enjoy your slow-roasted tomatoes right away (try not to eat them all straight from the pan — it’ll be tempting!). They’re delicious on their own, piled into your favorite summer sandwich, thrown in a fast summer spaghetti, or presented as an antipasti cheese board. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Herbs: I like the combination of sweet tomatoes and the subtle floral flavor of fresh thyme, but you may slow roast your tomatoes with any hardy herb of your choice. Feel free to use 2 teaspoons of finely chopped fresh hardy herbs (e.g., rosemary, oregano, etc.) OR 1 teaspoon dried herbs for the fresh thyme (e.g. dried oregano, herbs de Provence, Italian seasoning, etc.)
• Check for doneness after 1.5 hours if your cherry tomatoes are on the smaller side.
• Roasted cherry tomatoes are an excellent addition to crostini, as well as cheese boards, pasta, salads, and sandwiches.
• Broil the tomatoes for a few minutes towards the conclusion of the roasting procedure for a smoky/charred taste. Please don’t throw away the liquids: when you roast cherry tomatoes, they will burst and release their juices. Pour these liquids over your cuisine to add more flavor!

What To serve With Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes?

• Turn into a sauce: Tomato Cream Sauce or a simple Tartar Sauce sauce.
• Pasta: Slow-roasted tomatoes are an obvious addition to any of your favorite summer pasta. They’re a terrific way to give a tart flavor punch to lighter pasta dishes, like this Pasta Primavera or this Lobster Pasta Recipe, but they’re also a good way to add another layer of flavor to tomato-based pasta, like a basic Pomodoro. You can also use them in any recipe that calls for sun-dried tomatoes, such as this Pasta Salad with Broccoli or Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce.
• Salad: Toss a few of them into your favorite summer salad, such as Orzo Salad or Tuna Salad Nicoise.
• Pizza & Sandwiches: For an extra-satisfying choice, sprinkle them on top of a French Bread Pizza or Motor City Pizza Costco or use them in a sandwich.

How To Store Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes?

In The Fridge:

Any remaining Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes may be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Note: the tomatoes will release more liquids as they rest, making them ideal for use as a “sauce” for foods. I like to use mine as a bread dip by combining it with high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

In The Freezer:

It’s easy to freeze Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes. Freeze for 4-6 months in a freezer-safe bag or freezer-safe airtight container. Allow them to defrost in the refrigerator or reheat from frozen.

How To Reheat Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes?

Reheat the Jamie Oliver Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes in the microwave or on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes. Whatever way you employ, the tomatoes will soften and “fall apart” into a sauce consistency – but will still taste fantastic!
