Allow me to introduce you to my latest roasted veg obsession . . .

Although technically tomatoes are fruit aren’t they?!

Either way, fruit or veg . . . these deliciously simple roasted baby tomatoes . . . life. changing.

And I know what you’re thinking . . .

1 – “Em, They’re just tomatoes, calm down”

To this I say, I’m really sorry but I just can’t!!!!

2 – “Em, week after week you tell us all about your new fave thing and declare it to be deliciously simple and seriously life-changing”

You know what?!

You, my friend, are 100% correct!

But, I mean it.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Those of you who follow along on Facebook and Instagram (especially those of you who watch my stories) will know that I have been roasting alllll of the tomatoes pretty much every single week going on a good few months now #cantstop #notsorry

I have no idea where the idea came from or why I didn’t think to do it earlier, especially considering how much I love to roast all the things see → here, → here, → here, → here and → here ♥

But you guys . . . these roasted baby tomatoes are everything I want to eat on anything and in everything now and forever!

They are just so good!

Something truly magical happens when you roast these delicious little gems . . . the edges get all crisp, crunchy and gloriously caramelized *swoon* but, the middle gets soft, tender and deliciously jammy.

And then there’s the flavor . . . it’s kind of hard for me to explain so you’re really just going to have to trust me on this and GO MAKE THEM ALREADY so you can taste the magic for yourself but, somehow the flavors both intensify and mellow out at the same time?!

The contrast in flavors with the natural sweetness of those ripe, little rubies and that gentle hit of salt just marries so perfectly together, it really is magic in your mouth.

And, of course the contrast in texture with the crispy edges and that jammy little center  is all kinds of incredible!

I mean, would you just look at them?! 😍😍😍

Plus, serving anything with roasted tomatoes just sounds kinda fancy don’t you think?!

Although, in all honesty, this “recipe” , if you could even call it that , is so easy to make it’s kind of ridiculous.

Especially considering how insanely delicious the end result is!

I think that’s why it’s taken me so long to put this post together, because I guess I thought it was to simple to share?! But now I’ve decided that simple or not, it’s just to delicious to keep to myself.

Besides, minimum effort and maximum flavor is what I’m alll about!

And these deliciously simple, roasted baby tomatoes certainly deliver the goods, and in a very big and real way might I add, on both of those accounts!

3 ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need and life as you know it will be changed forever.

And yes, I really do believe that!

Once you have your pretty little maters’ all richly, roasted and ready for devouring the ways you can enjoy them are virtually limitless!

Throw them into a simple salad (like →  this, → this or → this), or simply add a big spoonful on to some mashed avocado on toast.

Or, use them to make this quick and easy pico and take your burrito bowl to the next level (see → here  → here or → here . I’m thinking we should definitely use them to make this quick and easy, 3 ingredient chicken bruschetta too!

All natural, quick, easy, crisp, crunchy, soft, tender, salty, sweet, deliciously simple, oven roasted baby tomatoes.

3 ingredients, 15 minutes – life as you know it will be changed FOREVA!!!!!!

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them!
